ok so i was out getting some dinner just now and i had my window down. I noticed the weirdest sound coming from my car. Every time i rev the engine or accelerate and then let off, i hear a 'TWEEEET' sound. im not smokin here im serious. it sounds so much like a bird. Its only when i rev the engine then let off. Anyone ever hear of such a thing? I havent noticed this until tonight. Here's a sound clip. Listen right after the engine stops revving. if you listen VERY closely you can hear the little chirp sound.

WTF? I did NOT double post!

 

do u have an intake??
it sounds like u do and it's making that noise if i'm right try to change the filter or back to stock air box and it should go away

 

by far the oddest maxima problem known...reminds me of that thread about the snake in the car....wow ive never laughed so hard

 

hahahah that sounded so funny, like the bird was replying to the revving engine. I think sadice's advice sounds the best. Try it.

 

could it be something with the belts?

 

Check and see if there are any loose bolts/screws hanging down off of the spoiler. There's an extra plastic guard down there that hangs on by a few clips w/ screws. The plastic broke through on one of them on my car. It hung down, and made a little noise when I take off.
hope that make sense

 

haha glad i could give you a laugh! thanks for the input. i still have stock intake. so it cant be that. it sounds like its coming from more of the rear/bottom arear. i will try checking the spoiler, belts etc. ill update tomarrow if i find the problem if that doesnt fix it, i guess i will have a new little bird friend every time i rev my engine. lol.

 

sounds like some kind of vacuum leak. i know when i cleaned my IAC valve i didnt have something tightened down good and i had a similar sound.

yeah i have to agree def sounds like a vacum leak or sumthin around that point.. but yet.. very weird.. good luck...

 

I suggest that you check the belts, they sometimes make wierd sounds especially if the get water and/or mud on them, if so this sound should stay for a while and goes by itself.
If this was not the reason then I wuld take my car to a mechanic, 'cause I would be worrying about some major problem!!!!!!!!!

 

ha !

 

all i know is, that definatly aint birds

 

99% its belts or even a bum accessory. My old Camry (88 baby!) had a simular chirp to it, and it turned out it was the AC compressor (or the alternator, it was a while ago).

 

I couldn't hear it very well since my computer I'm on sucks...

Almost sounds like your Power Steering pump...

 

thanks for all the input. looks like i'll have to try a few things to find the source of the tweet.

if it is just a belt making the noise, theres no harm done by that right?!?

 

just pretend that its turbo spool.

 

hey it might fool people? lol

 

could i have messed up my knock sensor by hooking up A/F gauge??

I was messing with my A/F gauge and after i started my car i get a cel code for left bank o2 sensor, could i have shorted it out or anything?? Its hooked up to that sensor.
