So I've done a fair bit of research and it seems our cars have all sorts of weird transmission noises and issues. But I'm not sure I came across a thread that really matches what I'm experiencing.
Essentially I have a whining noise (almost like a straight cut gearbox) under acceleration/any load between 20-60mph. At speeds below/above it doesn't really exist and it's not wind noise/road noise drowning it out at 65 mph either.
It doesn't matter what gear I'm in or what RPM it is, the noise is entirely speed dependent. The whine is a higher pitch at higher speeds and doesn't change with steering so I don't think it's a wheel bearing issue.
It's not clicking either so I don't feel it's CV joint related(?)
This started happening after a track day where I rotated the tires from the front to the back (didn't criss cross as they are directional)
I have a feeling it's something after the transmission/engine since it's speed related and not RPM related. There is nothing weird about the way it drives at all, the gears still engage smoothly and the car feels mechanically as it did for the past 22000km (14000 miles) I've had it. This sound is really bothering me though and it's very noticeable, perhaps I can upload a video tonight demonstrating it
Any insight would be appreciated!
I would bring it to the dealer but my car is fairly modded so the less trips to the dealer the better IMO.
