Golf V R32 :: 2013 - Whining Noise Under Throttle
Jun 3, 2013
My TT-RS has a haledex, transmission and drivetrain as the R32.
I picked up my 2013 TTRS about 3 weeks ago now. Man do I love this car! However, about 2 days after I picked the car up I started hearing a really annoying noise coming from somewhere up front in the car. At first I thought I already had a bad wheel bearing, but then realized the noise goes away when I'm off the throttle or decelerating. It's a very irritating rotational whine that increases and decreases frequency based on what speed I'm at. However, it only make the noise when under light throttle inputs for maintaining speed. So if I just hold the car light on the throttle to cruise at say 45mph, it's annoying as all hell. The only way to not get irritated by it is to have the windows open, radio blasting, of AC blasting to overcome the noise.
Audi here in Scottsdale had 5 technicians identify the noise and confirm I'm not crazy. They say they have no idea what it could be. However, they cannot see anything mechanically wrong, and since we can't pinpoint a source, they can't just start digging in for warranty work. Also, since TT-RS's are so limited, they haven't been able to drive another one to see if it makes the same noise. I assume it has to be something that engages when torque is applied, but I'm at a loss where to start. CV joints? I am assuming it's some bearing that compresses in the transmission under power?

I have an Audi 1999, quattro 2.8 liter. I am starting to hear a whining noise (from this morning) when I throttle. Gets louder when you throttle more. Runs fine. The sound comes even if the car is in Park/neutral and is not moving which means that the sound is not from transmission/differential, which is a relief. Where do you think its coming from - fuel pump????

Got my tires swapped out and noticed a whining sound coming from the rear of the car when I release throttle >40mph. Applying throttle it goes away. Soundalike it's coming from the driveline. Does the Haldex make a whining. It's loader than I would expect. Believe the roar of my winter tires covered it up.

I just bought a 2005 fx4 and there is a whining or whirring sound coming from the rear of the truck when I hit around 70km/h. the second i let go of the accelerator it stops.
Today when I got home after a 15 minute highway drive, i got under the truck and felt the differential area. it was warm but not hot. and there was a wet spot on it. i wiped off a drop of oil. there was also a wet spot on the bottom, seemed to be just water? I'm not sure.

I have a 2003 F250 SD with 130K miles. I primarily use it to pull a race car, about 5000 lbs is all. It has all the upgrades, from studs to EGR delete. Ford replaced the automatic transmission in 2005. I'm looking at a truck newer than 2011, but thinking either a flex fuel 250 or diesel. I want it loaded and 4WD, but they seem expensive.
Anyway, I have bad front wheel bearings. I know this because of the low rumble noise and how it acts when I rock the steering. How tough are they?? I build my entire race cars, so I have a well-equipped garage and some ability to cuss, but I don't have a lot of time. A buddy wants to do it for $300 total for both sides plus parts cost.
Also, this is the bad part I really need input on. It has a whining when at light throttle load and above 50-60 MPH. This seems to come from the floorboard area behind me. Gear changes do NOT affect the pitch, but a change in throttle crowding makes it louder and weaker. It has no coast down noise at all, and the noise pitch seems to track the drive shaft speed. It is a whine much like the low gear set in an automatic trans, but it does it in any gear with or without 4WD on. The only thing that affects the level is slightly pushing the accelerator, speed, or weight I am towing.

I've got 2013 es 350 with 10,000 miles on now. I have recently noticed that there was whining/whirring noise coming from the engine(I guess) while accelerating up to 45 mph. It seems that the noise goes along with the RPM since it gets louder when accelerating. It makes same noise when decelerating from 30 mph and it goes away when the car stops. A friend of mine drove the car once before but did not hear anything until I told him about the noise, so I guess it is not very noticeable to some people. At the 10,000 miles check up at the dealer, I mentioned about it and they said they did not hear anything, but I know for sure there is whirring/whining noise.

When starting the car and ONLY when it's a cold start, like sitting overnight, it makes this weird "groaning" or "whining" noise. I took a video of it because if I drive it to the dealer, then start the car there, it's not going to do it as it only happens after a long period of being off. Listen really closely after the car starts and right before the radio comes on, you will hear a faint groaning noise. It's louder in person, but this is the best I could do.

My first opportunity to really use four wheel drive and I am having a whine and a very slight vibration from the drivers side wheel. The noise is only noticeable under throttle/load. When I let off, there is no noise. The truck is also quite in two wheel drive.... No whine.
The truck has been to the dealer for a front end clunk that is coming from the drivers side. The dealer, as usual couldn't replicate it, and didn't do anything. I notice the clunk more on the rebound. I also notice it when using more of the suspension travel i.e. going over a apron into a shopping center, or the crown of a cross street when traveling at a good speed. Short choppy pothole bumps don't replicate the noise as easily.
If I had to guess... The two issues are related. Narrowing it down will be the key. Transfer case? Failing hub? If I don't spoon feed the dealer, I will never get it fixed.

Just pu my new 2013 6.7 Diesel with 1300 miles... There is a most annoying whining coming from under the hood and sound like its coming from the secondary filter area or turbo (you can even feel it if you put your hand on the filter lines and housing) and it starts a minute or so after the vehicle has been running and you can her in the cab at 70-mph... At drive through restaurants I have to shut the tk down to place my order and never goes away..

I have been experiencing this one for quite a while now. The car is a 2003 GTI VR6 24v. It is stock other than a 3" hole in the bottom of the airbox to pull in cooler air.
When I am sitting in traffic, and in 1st or 2nd gear, keeping a consistent speed (10-15mph) and application of the throttle (not moving my foot at all), the car sometimes just decelerates/hesitates/bucks a little by itself, and kind of feels like it is hiccuping or not getting enough air or something.
At high rpm, or in any gear above 2nd, I don't feel the hesitation and the engine runs great and pulls hard. No MIL lights on the dash, and no other problems with it.
Is this normal for manual VW's? Or maybe the hesitation coming from the engine not getting a consistent airflow from the hole in the airbox?

I went to clean my wife's throttle body out with brake cleaner and I think I sprayed too much into the throttle body now the car won't start. It makes a small clicking/grinding noise when I try to start it. What have I done?

So my car started to make this noise, hear it more at highway speeds than anything else. It's like a high pitched whine or whistle. When I'm on the accelerator it goes away, soon as I take my foot off the gas it starts up. Just cruising and engage clutch goes away as well. Sounds like coming from rear but hard to tell, hear it at low speeds but not as loud.

I've had my car for less than a week and have noticed something, I want to check with you all here to see if it is common or not.
When in 2nd gear with my foot off the gas between 1-2K RPM, I hear a faint whining sound that gets lower in pitch as the RPMs drop. An example of when this would happen is if I were coming up to a stop sign in a residential area in 2nd gear, coasting to the stop sign. The sound starts a little under 2K RPM.
I don't remember hearing this in 3rd gear and I haven't tried in 1st.

Just today I started hearing a whining noise from the rear that came and went. I wouldn't be worried but it was so loud that the radio could not drowned it out anymore. The noise when away when I gave the car some throttle so I am thinking its the rear diff. It was pouring down rain and I wonder if there was some part of that that could have had an affect.

Every time I let off the gas there seems to be a strange whooshing/whining noise being emitted from somewhere on my R. I have the flapper plugged and am thinking that it might possibly be that...

Just recently I've noticed my car making a whining noise. I have a 2011w/ DSG, Stage 2 APR w/ DP and K&N Filter. I've researched some cases of the whine coming from intake but using just the K&N I doubt it's that. Plus the noise just started recently and the filter was put on 4k ago. I read somewhere that it's a leak in the exhaust??? What it could be?

When I drive 60 miles exact constantly with windows closed and radio off, I hear a whine noise coming from the engine. I do not know if it's the engine or the gear shift of the transmission. If I drive over 65 mph or less than 55 mph, there is no whine sound at all. Is this normal?

Over the past few months there have been maybe 5-10 times where if I'm starting out in first gear on a hill, I hear a whining noise when I let the clutch out.
I took it to the dealer the other day, and the dealer said they've seen this before and would replace the clutch. Next day they call me and say the slave cylinder is leaking, so they have to replace that too. It has 11k miles on it (I don't drive much).

In cold weather, I hear a periodic whining sound from inside the car, any speed, disappearing after about 5-10 minutes when the car is completely warm. It seems to come from the driver's side dash or foot well. It is getting worse with time. Car is very new, only 2500 miles with no other problems. It is not the heater. It is not from the engine bay...I think. Very weird. Only happens when the weather is cold and disappears when the car is warm.

I have a new GTI which is awesome, but second gear has a very loud whining noise. Very easy to reproduce: in second gear rev it up to 3000 rpm and let go of the gas. This happens only in second gear. Under a moderate acceleration or while engine braking. Should I be worried, should i have it checked? Is this normal? It is a 6 speed manual gear box.
