    I just noticed when i opened windows.
    Its whining when i push the pedal and goes away when get faster.

    Its not so loud like a power steering pump though.

    What might it be?

    Ya, I can hear mine driving slow when the car is warmed up. Think it's normal. Take the belt off and try to wiggle all the pulleys just to be sure.

    could be the p/s pump, or the alt as well. take the belt off and give em all a spin.

    also check the p/s fluid.

    If everything on the belt drive checks out, look into the transmission. Have someone go with you so when its making the noise you can switch places and see if its louder on one side rather than the other.

    Its like a dog whistle sound.
    You can't hear it on idle, only when i drive and accelerate over 2k rpm you hear it for 2 seconds than its gone after gear.
    But its not only on first or second gear.
    Its when u accelerate.

    You cant hear it when windows are closed. Only when windows open.

    The noise coming out of my cold intake.

    And making sucking noise and high pitch.

    Is this normal?

    Mine does it too, when its still cold its almost annoying (to me anyway). I'm going to be tracking down a SLP air box sometime this summer. The open cone sounds great at wot but that slight throttle drive in the morning is just too much for me.

    It should only make a sucking sound when it's cold. Once your car warms up it should go away. Try putting the factory air intake/box back on.
