I just noticed a a very low (not very loud) high pitch whine when excelerating over 80mph. I'm not sure if it's always been there. As soon as I get off the gas it stops, and the pitch increases when I give it gas.
It's a 99DII (stock)
Any thoughts from the Disco gods??
Thanks

thanks Greg!
I think that's why I might not have noticed it in the past.
In fact, if my wife hadn't changed all the music in the CD player I might never had noticed. |

I have a similar sound. almost like a dog whistle, only at high speeds. But when I tap the brakes, it goes away for a moment. BUt it's not long before it comes back. I am guessing my problem is some scraping in the brake pad area, but i really have no idea. it's not something I can determine when the car is parked. |

Hey Carl,
Take you're roof rack off... I think that's your roof rack symphony in D major... It's especially loud if you're in any of the "highways" in the NYC area and the New Jersey Turnpike by the Bayonne area... hehehe

There are two (actually more) common problems... uh... I mean features on the D2 (and most Rovers). Above about 30-40mph you'll hear a transfer case whine and at or over 65mph you may hear a high pitch noise that's caused by wind noise. The solution is to turn up the radio as Greg said. Or you can add mud tires and a roof rack and the problem will be fixed. |

Does it happen at lower speeds but same revs? I'm wondering about intake roar,

Hey Glenn,
Don't worry, it's not the roof rack. I know that sound all too well.
Al,
I think your right about the t-case, that was I thought it was. So that's "normal"..good to hear. The noise is so slight I had to point it out for my wife to hear it.
If I can handle the roof rack in D minor, and my wife's music, I can handle this.
"and the New Jersey Turnpike by the Bayonne area" ..now that's funny...that's exactly where I was.
Damn Jersey!! |

CEJB,
Nope, it just happens over 80mph while giving it gas.
..I think it's gears |

what if this is a recent occurance? I have the whistling now - but only for the last couple weeks. I've had the rover for years. It's not the roof rack. |

Pat,
You said it goes away "when you tap the brakes", does it go away if you just let off the gas? |

LOL!!
Paul, that's the second reason I don't think I've ever heard this noise before.
I don't think I ever got it past 70!!! |

I have a good hill I can use to get to 80mph. If I have a tail wind I might even pickup an extra 5mph! That is if I had just waxed my car and filled it up half way with 94 octane. |

Carl & guys,
I'd been noticing something similar on mine for the last month or two: high-pitched whine, barely audible, when I got to around 65-70 (haven't been to 80), disappears when I let off the gas. Nobody else can hear it.
Today, I drove a loaner from the dealer and heard the same thing at even lower speeds. So I guess it's normal, like Al says. Radio knob is a definite "fix".

My whine goes away when I tap the brakes, but if I just let off the gas it stays. It appears to be something brake related because if I tap the brakes it goes away for a while, but if I coast down or speed up the sound remains. |

KENT!!!
Good to here fom you my friend, hope all is well.
I think it is gear box whine, and I feel better about it now hearing that more of you "hear it" also.
Patrick,
I think your right that your problem is brake related. Pull your wheels and brake pads and have a look down there.

I also hear the loud whining noise.... Not usually in the rover though... Usually in the house coming from 2 small kids and my wife...(hope she doesn't read this) hehehe...

Glenn! That's another spin on the mother-in-law joke; I hope your wife doesn't frequent DWeb. Tell her it was a typo, you just meant the kids, only the kids and the dog.
Carl, good to see you here too. You disappeared for a while. Personally, I think it's time for another run to S. Jersey.
