Ok guys, I just took my car in for service, and it makes a weird whining noise, not the supercharger, it makes the noise with speed, and not engine RPMS, anyone have any ideas??

 

umm, maybe the water pump, oil pump, power steering pump would be my guess

 

hmmmmm not a power steering pump cause we dont have one. tranny maybe????

 

I was thinkin tranny too

 

you arent doing something like putting it in 1st with the clutch in rolling up to a stop are you????

 

i klnow my tranny whines when i get on it but i only have the 2.2

 

No, I always coast to a stop in neutral, and if i put it in any gear, i put in second.

 

My old tranny used to make a whining noise only on the highway. Is a pretty quiet? When I got my new tranny in June, it hasnt made it since. Anyone know if theres any kinda of diffrence between 06 and 07 trannys?

 

Yea my 2.2 did that too. When I talked to the service guy who rode along with me, he said its not supposed to sound like it does right now.

It is that loud, that I can hear it over my exhaust. Can't hear the supercharger that well over the exhaust, but I can hear that damn whining noise loud and clear.

 

Hmm have really no clue then. My noise came from right under the dash pretty much a little before the shifter. It was noticable but not over my exhaust. Sorry I couldnt help more.

 

Its ok! not a problem!!

Will rep everyone for their help when I get back!

 

Get the midget out of your trunk its hot outside!!!

 

 

well, about what speed does it make the noise???? when it makes the noise, put the vehicle in neutral and see if it goes away.......also coming from the front of the car?? Can you notice what side of the vehicle it is coming from???

 

Vacume leak ?

 

I'll venture a guess....either a tire noise, or a wheel bearing

 

It very well could be a wheel bearing or a tire noise, but it comes from both front sides, what are the chances that both wheel bearings are shot?? When the car is in neutral, it still makes the same noise. And it is def coming from the front.

 

well, I'm a tech. at a gm dealership....you'd be suprised how often the bearings are replaced lol. Also, if it is a tire noise...it could make noise from both sides depending how your alignment is, and how your tires are wearing.....keep up posted

 

Just rotated the tires a month a go, and they both looked even. Will def keep you guys posted! They are looking at the car tomorrow. So, as soon as I hear something I will post it up here!

 

Well I have an update as to the status of my car. The lady in the service department called me today, and said the tech thinks it is coming from the transmission, so they are taking it out, and tarring it down to find out what is wrong Now I am stuck with this crappy Chevy Prism until it is fixed!

 

dude..they have to give you a rental since the vehicle is "not safe to drive" especially since they're taking more then one day to fix it...you are under warranty right?

 

my car is kinda doing the same thing. but only in 1st and 2nd gear. anything after that it won't do at all . it's a low faint wine though . dont know if its the same problem you have bro .

 

I notice if you use transaxle fluid other than the GM kind that comes in the bottle with the Saturn logo you'll get a whine from the transmission.

 

Low whining noise= fuel pump about to bite the bullet.

 

My guess would of been that the tires were rotated !
