Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior weird EEEEEEEEEEE! sound wtf could it be?

yo like when i turn on the car it makes this crazy loud sound that sound like some cat being torn apart:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and it does that forever untill i get to school, but it goes away when i go on the highway.

ne way i took it to the dealer and told him it was a belt or something. he checked it and told me it wasnt but he still couldnt figure out what made the sound.

has someone ever had this same problem????
help plz this sound like kills my ears in the morning lol

ne ideas on what this could be and if so how much would it cost to fix????

feed me some more info here coach. how many miles, tranny, "mishaps" with the car... etc etc. Is it definately an engine thing and not feedback from the stereo? Does the sound go away when you increase speed or just in the time it takes for you to GET to the highway, feel me?

well ok...
my celica has bout 40000 miles on it(not much) and only one real mishap when this huge SUV tiped the bumper of my car while going like 50 miles an hour(but no real damage, just had to replace the bumper)

i dont think its from the stereo and this sound has been getting worse over the weeks...it gets louder and stays there for a longer time.

only somtimes does it go away so its prolly the time not the acceleration

hmmmmmm is your car slow to respond to anything? shifting, accelerating, braking, steering? Auto or manual?

its and auto but with the sport shifting thing on the steering wheel

and no its not slow
its in perfect condition its just that it makes the noise

thats y its so WEIRD!!!

since you say it sounds like "EEEEEEE" I take that to mean it's high pitched?

Which rules out most exhaust problems...

have you checked the belt tensioner??? mine made that sound right before the tensioner went out.

that's what confused me lucky, he said the mechanic checked the belt out, which I would assume meant he checked the whole damn system out. That was my first thought.

yeah its hella high pitched lol thats why it kills in the morning
lol

ok
and yes i checked the belt tentioner and it was fine

so i dunno

seems to me its gotta be something in the serpentine system. nothing else would make that sound.

got a digital camcorder? record a vid of it and post it up. otherwise you're answer is I dunno take it to the dealer lol

also I'm in the live chat room for a bit if you have more questions or descriptions

lol no i dont

yeah ill proly just take it to the dealer
the other dealer i went to was kinda shitty so ill go to some guy thats actually good and yeah

thx tho

my other guess would be something in your break or steering, but if the car isn't slow to respond.

Maybe something is fucking up your air filter. Sometimes animals and debris get in there. THat's an option.

haha I dont think an animal can get caught in your intake

not an aftermarket one, but I've found mouse nests and a few mice in stock airboxes of tons of cars before, especailly in winter I shiteth you not

dude i serously doubt that mice can make this sound
i mean this sound is so freakin loud. like when im picking someone up the know im almost there cause they can hear me...even tho im like 2 blocks away, so i seriously doubt that mice or any animal can make that noise

what about there little mouse skulls grinding on your intake valve (lol)

lol maybe

the animal isn't making the noise the messed up suction is. It's possible.

do you have one of those ebay turbo noise maker??

hehehehe

its the belt man. take it to the dealer. Thats the only thing that makes that sound.

^ agreed, but apparently it was brought to the dealer and they checked the belt that's why I'm so damn confused

agree with the belt.. he need to take to a different dealer.. the one that he took to could be one of those dealer that tell you to get a new engine when you have a flat tire.

haha yeah prolly its the belt
im gunna take it to some other dealer so he can check it like next weekend or maybe tomorrow if i have time


(and no i dont have that stupid turbo noise maker thing)


well thx neways people
