Siren Sound

ridin135 · 03-11-2010, 03:38 PM

No its not another one of these type of threads. I am just curious how many people are having these symptoms.

Ilma · 03-11-2010, 04:13 PM

I don't think you are whining at all......lol.

But seriously, I am glad you started this poll.

lpphreakx06 · 03-11-2010, 04:14 PM

Voted, they updated my car to the latest progman and the sound seems to have gone away completely.

Terrance28 · 03-11-2010, 04:50 PM

yes sir

ridin135 · 03-11-2010, 06:48 PM

Any body feel like there is a power loss. I can't tell if I am just used to the power or if I am loosing some. It doesn't feel fast to me anymore

FotiosF90M5 · 03-11-2010, 06:52 PM

I hear it when I first get going after startup then goes away very quickly. I hope its nothing. kinda annoying.

lpphreakx06 · 03-11-2010, 06:53 PM

They actually blamed it on the transmission.

Yeah both dealers said the same thing. I don't remember the technical term they used. No power loss here actually the car never felt stronger.

Dr_Dirt · 03-12-2010, 07:52 AM

They just upgraded my car to the latest program, and now I hear the low tone whirrrr of the turbos under moderate acceleration. Never ever noticed it before. I have only noticed it when the car is cold and the radio is off.

BaMBaM4002 · 03-12-2010, 11:38 AM

I forgot the turbines are to be completely silent...

It's a low pitch whirring sound....right?
As opposed to a siren-like high pitch sound?

themyst · 03-12-2010, 12:24 PM

It is quite audible when the car is just started, but after a little while it goes away. After a hard thrashing at the drag strip this past weekend, the sound is louder now, but the car still pulls like a bat out of hell, no problems.

Ilma · 03-12-2010, 04:15 PM

Funny thing with mine is that if I beat on the car and get it nice and warm.....the siren noise almost disappears entirely for the duration of the drive.

ridin135 · 03-12-2010, 04:41 PM

I can hear mine when it is hot only with the radio off and slowly going to 3k and a little above
