Why does my car make a high pitched squeal when I accelerate?

Why does my car make a high pitched squeal when I accelerate?

There should be more squeal if the engine is cold, because the belt will tighten up when the engine get’s warmer. Well actually there shouldn’t be any squeal so get it looked at. I know I get a high pitched sequel too but it’s all around in the car.

Why does my car whine at high acceleration speeds?

I list out the various reasons why your car can become a whiner at high acceleration speeds. One clue is to figure out what parts of a car come into play at high acceleration speeds. Here are some hints. One of the prime reasons for whining noise may be friction caused in the car transmission mechanism.

Why does my belt screech when I accelerate?

If the Tensioner is failing a new belt will probably soon be screeching too. Check and see it it has the belt held tight as it should. The Tensioner is a GAS Spring (on mine anyway) and those fail under long term heat conditions. There is also a possibility your belt Idler bearing is going out.

Why does my alternator make a whining noise?

Starting at approx. 3000 engine rpm, the alternator fan can cause a whining noise. At very low temp’s the alternator may whine for the first minute of operation. Check charging condition of battery. Recharge batter if necessary. If excessive magnet field whining still occurs: Replace alternator.

Is it normal to make noise when accelerating?

There are noises that are normal on acceleration. The best way to know if the noise is normal is simply if you have heard the noise before. You have probably driven, or at least ridden in cars for years.

Why does my car make a clicking noise when I accelerate?

When the valves wear they will make a clicking noise. This is most noticeable when accelerating because the valves are moving much faster. The bearings are what allow the cam and crankshaft to spin for thousands of miles and millions of revolutions. If any of the bearings fail they will cause a ticking or screeching noise.

Why does my car shake at higher speeds?

There are a handful of reasons this might happen, but if the shaking is definitely in higher gears and not just at higher speeds the issue might be with the transmission. A shaking at higher speeds is often caused by a tire balance issue, but if it only happens in gear then that is probably not the issue.
