noise on moderate launch

I have been getting an odd noise when taking off in 1st. I understand its difficult to describe a noise so I will try to record a vid of the noise. Anyway, after it groans (clutch), I get a deep screech noise which sounds like there is metal on metal contact. It does not happen all the time, it seems like it has to be done just right to make the noise. By moderate launch I mean taking off at 1k-2k.

Recently, I have replaced the control arms, stabalizer bar end links and put the D2 coilovers back in and the noise is still there. Anyone have any ideas of what can be causing this noise?

I guess in a way it does sound like that but im not really sure. On the way to school, im going to try to get it on video and I will post it up later today.





After driving to school, I was having a hard time trying to make the noise, I guess after the new control arms and lowering it, it is hiding the problem. I heard the noise twice and it didnt really sound like the air brakes at all, just a quick metal on metal screech near the end of the launch. If anyone has any ideas, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yea ill try to get an audio of it too. And no it doesnt sound like a truck releasing air like how a bov sounds, I could only wish of having a turbo max. Its similar to the sound when they are pressing the brakes.

I've got the same problem but it only does it when i have air blowing(heat or a/c) and it doesn't do it when the air is off. Don't know why though??

Haha, Quick chewey! Where's Yoda?!?! IDK mang, does it do it when u turn or when u accelerate? Might be something lose and viberating something else which resonates a tone. Wonder if its a local problem or a 2k2 flaw... idk
