Car Forum / Subaru Cars / March 200804 subaru new noise
After getting back from the ski hill today, i heard a new high pitch whining sound comming from the 'baru. Popped the hood and it sounded like, maybe the front driverside area. Possibly around the radiator? Anythoughts anybody?

Anythoughts anybody? coincidentally enough we have the same high pitched sound coming from our Forester (also an 04). Haven't gotten it diagnosed yet, but was waiting to have the dealership look at it. Just letting you know you're not alone. Ideas anyone?

Possibly around the > radiator? Anythoughts anybody? Hmmm....I've read of a buzzing sound from ABS pumps. Dunno where they are on 04s. But you don't say if the noise is external of the engine or ??? Carl  Signatureto reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) ABS pumps aren't running unless the ABS is engaged. High pitch whine (like a hyrdolic pump under load) was belts on mine. The belt that runs the alternator was a bit worn and not right. It can also be the alternator itself. Does the noise go away once it gets warmed up a bit? >> After getting back from the ski hill today, i heard a new high pitch >> whining sound comming from the 'baru.

Might have been a TSB or reacll too. But I think they were models years older than the 04 in question.

Turns out it's the "keyless buzzer" - the thing that makes the chirping noise when you use the fob to lock/unlock the doors. Moisture got into it and it needs to be replaced. $99 - I told them not to worry about it and just disconnect it since we don't use it anyway. just thought you guys should know. Mikey |
