when my car is in idle, the pod filter makes a strange sound like kind of low whistling noise then every so often the tone will change to a different sound and then change back again...understandable? i just wanted to know if it was normal or not.

it is your idle control valve whistling. completely normal.

even changing tones?

will be fine. Probably some other valves switching. Does it run funny/bad at all?
If you had a standard filter, you just would not hear these noises

whats your car?

96 trueno. well its just that it never used to make as much noise, and the whistling while driving is much louder than it used to be.

check your pod underneath if it has not rubbed through itself on engine mount..

It hasn't been converted to turbo has it? :lol:

My Skyline does that, not that loud but it wasnt there when I had the stock panel filter

It sounds normal

Want reassurance? Take it to a mechanic

by **Ae92typeX** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 8:44 pm

as above, but when did you last clean it? possibly could be a little more gunked up, and if an oil type, dry.

I once had a starlet that sounded like it had a spooling turbo, it was just normal sounds from the induction that were really loud. Just appeared over time, maybe same thing.
