ive been hearing this higher pitched whistling noise that happens when i press on the gas most of the time, i thought it was just something wrong with my air vents before when i was driving fast, but when i was backing into my driveway yestarday i heard it again. It only happens when i press on the gas. And happens more noticeably when im downshifting. Any idea what this could be?

do you have an aftermarket intake?

doesnt even have to be aftermarket, my moms 99 ex sometimes makes a whistliing sound, it most probably is coming from the airbox.
just think of it as a supercharger.

naw i dont have an aftermarket intake but i plan on buying one, do they make whistling noises? Is the intake always pulling in air, or only when it gets too hot? i havent tried to check if it only happens after extended periods of driving, i drove today and didnt hear it on short trips to and from school.

My car kind of makes a whistling supercharger type sound but I only notice it while pulling between 2500-3000 RPMS. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

my car has a loud whistle around 6500+RPM, it turned out to be the muffler, nova_dust had the same problem i believe
