Whine noise on acceleration

[Trublu07]

Hello. I am getting a whine noise when I accelerate. I have noticed it more on the first drive of the day. I can't tell where the noise is coming from but the revs have been below 3k so not on stupid acceleration. Any ideas? The car is a mk2 cupra with 24k on the clock.

When does the whine come in? From idle upwards?

 

[Trublu07]

When I pull away or accelerate after changing gear Just approaching 2 /2.5k

Like a police siren?

 

[Trublu07]

Unfortunately not

Unfortunately not

Unfortunately?

Don't you mean FORTUNATELY? if it was like a police siren it would mean your turbo was on its way out

Do you get it if you boot it before 3k rpm??

 

[Trublu07]

Yeah but also when just with brisk acceleration. It kind of sounds like an electric whine if that makes sense

You havent just fitted stereo/amp or anything have you and maybe not connected the ground properly. (could the sound be coming from the speakers?)

 

[Trublu07]

Had a stereo fitted about a month ago. It's not that because you can hear it from outside the car too with window open. This is the first cupra I've had so I'm hoping the noise is meant to be there. I think I make it more obvious now I'm listening for it if you know what I mean.

I hear a very slight "wine" from mine at low speeds in 1st mainly when setting off, sounds like a very slight bit of transmission wine to me.

Dunno if it's normal or not but I'm not overly worried as you can barely hear it!

 

[Trublu07]

Tbh that sounds exactly like mine and that was what I was thinking but didn't want to say. Hopefully it's normal then.
I think because I heard it once I subconsciously listened for it making it more obvious.

mines does exactly same mate!! 1st & 2nd only really! not loud at all but can tell its there!! believe it or not check your oil!! as mine seems to be slightly louder when low! soon as topped up almost not there!!

Thanks peeps

This has been annoying the life out of me for a while now. My car is standard and I hate that whine sound.

I don't get it at full chat, just when moving off in part throttle.

Really think the TFSI sounds horrible unless tuned!

 

[Trublu07]

Plus it sounds more like a diesel when it starts

Started noticing this on my leon TDI fr and im starting to think it is the aircon/vents. Try listening in close to them, I get the feeling that even with the aircon turned off they still spin with the engine. If i turn my aircon on full heat then turn it off i still get hot air through it and i think the whine is coming from the fans in the vents.

I'm gonna get my G/box oil level checked and see if it's low, Going down south next month on holiday for a week and will be racking up quite a few miles so best safe than sorry, also going to get the oil & filter swapped as part of a mid-year oil service.

Hopefully will be bale to get it sorted this week then I know it'll be sweet

 

[Cupra R Matt]

Got my box oil level checked and all was fine apparently!?!

If it sounds like it is coming from gearbox it could be your release bearing!
