Update on the high pitch noise

280z/300zx · 09-02-2009, 12:16 PM

So I tried listening to see if my Z had this noise and it does. It's very high pitched but very low in volume. It's coming from the right side feet area. It is constant whether the car is just sitting at a stop light or driving. When the car is off there is no sound. That being said the only way I can hear this is with the window up and no radio. If I turn the radio anything higher than level 3 on the volume I can't hear the noise at all. With no radio but the windows down I can only hear the noise when at very low speeds or at stand still.

Is it annoying? Yes, but only because now I know it's there. Had this post never been created I probably would never have picked up on it since I usually have my windows down and/or have the radio on to at least volume level 5. So for now I'm not really going to be worrying about but it would be nice to see a resolution of this or at least find out the cause.
