Firstly sorry for me coughing in the video like a small girl. I've got a bad cold.

I want to know if this "supercharger whine" sound I hear upon accell and decel, is normal or not. Made a video on break at work. It's long. But my car does this when cold, all the time. The exhaust note is weird because It was like 20 degrees out and was not quite at operating temp. Also couldnt help but laugh at the end. The Charger was going in circles like a dog before it goes to the bathroom lmao.

EDIT: Forgot the video....

Anyone? If you drive a V6, do you hear this whine when its cold?

Mattman1121 · 12-13-2014, 08:58 AM

I'm not sure what exactly the noise is, but I hear the same thing on my SS

OK thanks. Im guessing its transmission related harmonics related, maybe the syncros?

Appreciate checking it out.

Yeah, I read some stuff about the diff whining sometimes too. From what I've found so far it seems normal, but I'm no expert

I made it through the first two mins and hear nothing inordinary.

Yeah thats what I was just reading. I heard better diff oil and topping it off may help? Im going to consult a mechanic and see what they suggest as far as the diff. Thanks man.

Im glad you survived. I know the sound of a V6 hurts the ears of a V8 owner, so I appreciate checking it out for me. Thanks.

I've never heard that on my V6 manual but it doesn't really get that cold here, don't know if that might make a difference.

Maybe is an Auto thing? I used to live in Santa Clarita BTW.
