this link will take you to a new window and click on the blue "cheerping" word under engines to hear exactly what it sounds like. if you can help please do

 

cheesling sound? please elaborate. whistle? grind? squeel? tick? Are you pressing firmly? softly? details! details!

 

i press it gently, the noise is like a squeel, i think my engine mounts might be bad, can that be it.

 

I don't know about the mounts, if that was the case you would feel the engine jumping at idle. How long does the squeel last? have you checked your belts? I would lift the hood and have a friend rev it up and see if you can zero in on the sound too.

 

the squeel only starts when i just press the has, belts i'm not sure about

 

if it is continous squeal...then check our belts ( just left of the engine when you look down)

other wise it's just your exhaust valves opening up...step on the gas just a bit and it'll chirp once and when the rpm drops down..just before it goes to idle..it'll make a slight chirping noise again

 

I've had that same chirping noise on my motor! That used to freak me out, but I've heard the same thing that takkar said. I figure if everything is running fine, why worry about it!

 

This makes absolutetly sense but I will post it anyway. Please don't flame me for this but this just happened to me today. After reading this post and listining to strange sound comming from your engine this morning I couldn't help but wonder what the hell could possibly make that sound. My first thought was maybe a clogged air filter or something in the air box. I was planning on changing my oil this morning so i took the car for a short drive to get the oil up to temp before draining. When I pulled the car back into the garage to change the oil i put the car in park and reved the engine only to about 3k or so and as the rpms were comming down i heard the same sound as your car is making. I figured I would check it out after I changed the oil. Well I drained the oil and replaced the oil and filter and took the car for a short drive. When i pulled the car back into the garage i reved the motor again to about 3k but this time it did not make the noise. As I said it makes no sense that changing the oil would have any effect on the type of noise i heard. The noise did not resemble a machenical noise it more resembeled an air restriction noise.

 

I listened to the wav file and heard what I think you may feel is a bad noise..From what I heard all that noise is , is your tranmission just adjusting to the rpms...When I took mine in for the slip tsb, the guy who I know explained to me how the trannys are half computerized..Thats all you are hearing, nothing bad, but it does scare you if you dont know what it is...

 

i have a 6 speed and sorta get a similar sound, exept when i rev it up, the "chirp" sound is stretched into about 3 seconds and stops right before the RPMS get back to idle, rather than one quick chirp.
