Thread: mazda 3 turbo noise

  1. #1

    Default mazda 3 turbo noise

    Hi

    When i put my foot on the accelerator to overtake a car or something the turbo makes this weird noise...like a harmonica or something. Kinda like wind going through air. Otherwise if i'm not flooring it, the turbo sounds normal. I've asked mechanics about it, they don't have a clue. Anyone here have any suggestions?

    Boost leak. Check your clamps.

    But I'm hoping you're not talking about induction noise either

    Mike sounds a little strange but if mechanics are not worried then your good! Couple of options
    1. Check for boost leak as advised above.
    2. If audible from the car record a sound clip and post on here
    3. Turn off the radio and "floor it" more often to enjoy the music!

    If so, got a loose boost hose, that was my turbo to intercooler hose

    So that's a bad sound???? I thought that was what the induction sound was. Oh crap, I've been driving mine around thinking that's normal.

    that was excessively loud, ie it filled my entire cabin with noise, rather than just coming from the front left of engine

    Mmm well I think I might need to take one of the Qld guys for a drive just to be on the safe side. My intake sound it very similar to that, with the music off it is very close to being that loud.
