Whistle when it rains
Hey so it rained today for like the first time since january and I have had my car serviced 2 times in the past month, now suddenly when it rained the engine started making a loud whistling sound. Very high pitched but not like the squeel of a belt or anything. the volume increased as I got to higher RPMs when I shifted to a lower gear the sound got fainter until the RPMs rose again. it also increases pitche with higher RPMs, I hear it very faintly sometimes and very loud other times. totally bizarre, anyone ahve any ideas what might be causing this sound so I can have it checked out?
thanks!
thanks!

RE: Whistle when it rains
the only thing ive heard that would make sense is this: when i first start the car, especially in colder weather the turbo whines at about 3000rpm for a few minutes until it warms up. perhaps the cooler weather in the rain is causing this....not sure otherwise

RE: Whistle when it rains
Well mine is the v6 3 liter so its definately not the turbocharger as I dont have one. Might be a wheel bearing but it is specifically happening only when it rains. It rained again today and I could hear it, kind of sounds like a loose belt or something to me but its not really a squeeling sound, more of a whistel. Also it gets much louder at higher RPMs, then decreases when it shifts, if this were a wheel bearing wouldnt it just be dependant on speed?
