as far as i know mass air flow sensors don't make noise...Being as they have no mechanical parts to even make a noise.

Another wasted thread.....

well if its not the MAF then its something near the intake. its a small sort of whiney noise when im about quarter to half throttle. anyone else had this problem before?

[LoudCamry]

do you have a car audio system?? i have alternator noise when i gas the padel sometime

[netrickyaz]

do you have a k&n drop in filter? i may have similar noise.... or try to post a clip of the sound then i'll know for sure....

Do they have a secondary flap that opens up under certain throttle opening like the Gen 6? A leak at the vacuum actuator would cause a high pitch noise.

N.E.O.

have you touched the intake box recently?

reason i ask is bc whenever i took my car into the dealer to get my injectors cleaned out and throttle body cleaned at 35k, the mechanic broke a piece off the top of my intake box (near the clips, at the edges) and whenever I accelerate it whistles. I didnt know what was going on at first so I never really checked it out but noticed the broken piece and its too late to mention anything about the mechanic breaking it so i just duck taped it. Stupid me but cant complain now, no use for that...

just a thought...


but yea ur MAF shouldnt make any noise cause its just a sensor, no mechanical work to it at all....try identifying where the sound is coming from, around what general area


have you noticed any poor performance whenever u noticed the sound? check your vacuum and intake hoses for any leakage

i don' t think mine is a noise that is normally noticed but i think its just the air trying to be sucked through the stock intake and through the KN filter....its very quiet but idk if its the same noise

[Bmeclick]

well i had a custom short ram and it was very loud then and i got tired of it so i put my stock intake box back on and hooked everything up as far as i know all my hoses are nice and tight. i do have a KN drop in but ive had it for a while before the short ram and no noise like this. i am missing one of the bolts for the top of the air box but i zip tied it down so there shouldnt be anything leaking. idk what else to do :[[

[netrickyaz]

i was going to say im missing a bolt too lol but i don't have it zip-tied...and i don't think i have the same whistling

[Bmeclick]

yea mine is a very faint whistling noise and im not sure where its coming from i gotta double look everything again and make sure its all on tight. i dont notice it so much anymore but when im driving i can still hear it
