There is a whining noise coming from behind me in my '97-98 car. What is it?

Jake Latham's 1997 Z51 Corvette - C5 Frequently Asked Questi...
On '97 and early '98 C5's, the fuel pump was particularly noisy, so this is probably what the sound is. You may notice that it gets worse when the car is cold, hot from a long drive, or when the tank is getting low on fuel. As well, you'll probably hear the whine alternate in pitch when your turn signal is on, as voltage to the pump changes slightly. In mid '98 (I believe) the pump was redesigned to be a bit quieter, although they still do make some noise.

A funny noise is coming from my grill. What should I do?

Welcome to Weber.com
Rushing noise: Immediately after turning on the gas tank valve, you may hear a "rushing" noise. This is just gas rushing into the supply hose and manifold. Groaning or metallic cracking and popping: As Flavorizer Bars, burner tubes, and cooking grates heat and cool, they expand and contract, causing these sounds. Fluttering noise: If the slide-out bottom tray is not fully pushed into place, excess air may be drawn into the cookbox, causing a "fluttering" sound.

There's a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car. Any ideas what to look for?

Impala SS Frequently Asked Questions List
Some, if not most, Impalas arrive with the rear exhaust hanger bolts loose or missing. Have them replaced or tightened at the dealer. Also, there is a heat shield that goes around the plastic gas tank that runs close to the exhaust. It can get resonate when a larger or noisier exhaust is installed. If the heat shield is rattling, try getting some thick sponge or that gray spongy packing material and cut it into four large pieces.

Why is there is a humming or buzzing noise coming from my subwoofer?

HSU FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
You have a ground loop problem. Try using a cheater plug that removes the third prong, also called the 'ground'. Do NOT ground the grounding tab on the cheater plug! That would defeat the purpose of the cheater plug for this application. You have an amplifier problem. If the ground cheater plug does not help, disconnect all interconnects from the subwoofer amplifier. If still hums, call or email technical support. You have a problem with other equipment.

Why is noise coming from my fluorescent lamp?

FAQs: Fluorescent: GE Commercial Lighting Products
Audible noise from a fluorescent light is likely due to a loose or faulty ballast. The ballast is an electrical device inside the lighting fixture that supplies the proper starting and operating power to the lamp. Sometimes, changing a lamp loosens the ballast mounting or other parts of the fixture and the slight vibration from the ballast during normal operation causes a buzzing or hum. The volume of the sound may change - louder or softer - as the fixture warms up.

Is the whining noise from the SQ Boeing 777 cabin a normal occurrence?

Frequently Asked Questions No 11
I recently traveled in a new Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 . We were seated near the wing in the last row of the forward economy cabin. From engine start up to shut down, we experienced a high pitched uncomfortable whining noise - which continued throughout the whole flight. It could be heard from the last 6 rows of the cabin - but most of all from our row. The Flight Attendants said that it was in connection with the air-conditioning system. It was so uncomfortable that they gave us ear plugs.

What's that squeaking noise coming from the dashboard?

_7
It most likely is the dashboard. As your driving over bumps, press on it and see if the noise stops. If so, your best bet is take it to the dealer to be fixed. If you feel comfortable taking apart the dash yourself, you'll see Dual-Lock (velcro) fasteners/adhesive tape which attach to the dash. The adhesive on the fastener has probably come unstuck. Try pressing it back down or touching it up with some fresh adhesive/glue. Also be sure to check the parking brake release button.

Kricket's Kritters - Organically fed Bearded Dragons an...
Female and male crickets begin to develop their wings around their 4th week of life or around 1/2" in length. Male crickets create their "songs" by rubbing their wings together. Male crickets wings have a special "pocket" in their wings that resonates and chirps when the wings vibrate together. Male crickets make these songs in order to establish territory and to communicate with females and let them know of their location.

Therefore, after arrival and once having deposited your belongings (tent etc.) at the centre, it is best to park your car on the main road. Since Allmuthen is a farming village and the farmers have to do their work unencumbered, we strongly request you to park only where it is allowed.

What's that rattling/squeaking noise coming from the hatch area?

F-bodies are notorious for their "mysterious" rattles/knocks/squeaks. The 4th generations cars have greatly reduced these rattles, but they are not totally eliminated. Try one of the following: Wrap some electrical tape around the rear seat posts. There usually isn't a perfect fit of the seat latches and the post causing rattling. The tape will reduce any play and deaden any rattle. It could also be the hatch.

We're still working to reduce the decibel rating and with the use of external drivers we'll reduce about 50% of that decibel rating again.. If we use internal electronic transformers we strike performance problems including flickering, strobing or random shutdown. We cannot legally produce a GU10 bulb that operates on low voltage DC so we'll concentrate on the MR16 units for now. The two types of low-voltage transformers that are used with traditional MR16 lamps are Magnetic and Electronic.

Where can I park? Is it worth coming to the festival by car?

Sziget-hu
It's hard to find parking space near the festival, since it's very crowded, so unless it's inevitable, we suggest that you shouldn't come by car. We don't operate any parking lots, so we request everybody to approach the event by public transport, especially, since we can't take responsibility for cars parked outside the festival area.
