turbo humming sound? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

nissamax · 11-19-2009, 02:37 AM

this is probibly a really dumb question.
but the other day i was on 95 and i wanted to see what my car could do. (roads were all clear and i normally never go this fast) but anyway
once i get up to 100 to 115ish at high rpms. i hear this like humming sound? is this normal? or is something wrong? or am i loosing it lol

and as soon as i drop under 100 it goes away.

only mods are CAI
catback

and im pretty sure its not the CAI because it happened again when i went 100+ and i had zero mods on my car.

thanks nick

hood scoop..... :facepalm:

nissamax · 11-19-2009, 09:59 AM

really? wow i feel stupid. i thought it was wierd because once i hit 100 it starts humming. hmm i would have never thought of that

Honest_Bob · 11-19-2009, 11:10 AM

Its not the hood scoop. Its the wind going through the crack in the side mirrors.

R_Rambo · 11-19-2009, 11:19 AM

lmao either way its not mechanical, an explorer I had did that (not at 100+) but it was due to the holes i had to drill in the luggage bars to attack a ski rack. it made some funky sounds hah

ndubz · 11-19-2009, 11:53 AM

I dont really hear any unusual humming when I go 100+. but then again I do have a full exhaust which would drown out said humming. lol

DwagsSpecV · 11-19-2009, 12:03 PM

I have come to live with all the crazy noises that my car makes. I think its fair to see that subie's are not quiet cars in any sense. New noises seem to come and go every day.

She still hauls ass though. Thats all I really care about

ive read mirrors, frameless windows, hood scoop etc.. but whatever it is it's annoying.

nissamax · 11-19-2009, 01:17 PM

yes it is annoying. just checking lol i was like wtf is this sound. once i go catless i wont hear a thing.

doug · 11-19-2009, 01:20 PM

i have a full exhaust and downpipe.. it's still prominent, don't get your hopes up.

nissamax · 11-19-2009, 02:57 PM

damn these noise jap cars lol. I still love it

doug · 11-19-2009, 03:04 PM

that sound is just a reminder to hit the brakes.. lol

nissamax · 11-19-2009, 03:28 PM

lol yes. im never going over 100 anyway. its funny because its happens like perfectly once i hit 100. like there is enough wind or force .

doug · 11-19-2009, 03:29 PM

yeah it has happened to me too.. apparently the sti wing makes noise too but i wouldnt know

Honest_Bob · 11-19-2009, 04:42 PM

An EWG will drown that noise right out.

twizhimself · 11-19-2009, 05:47 PM

maybe its humming cuz it dosent know the words?

rich33389 · 11-19-2009, 09:12 PM

Maybe the tires to.

272sWrx · 12-14-2009, 01:33 AM

Its the side mirrors, There are a stickers inside them go check. Atleast for an 02-03 wrx. This is very normal and very loud at 100+
