A weird noise coming when accelerating

[tmkuruppu]

What's going on here ? I hear this sound when I press the accelerator. Recorded from inside when i was driving. Noise is going off when i move away from the pedal.

Sounds like something going on with the drivetrain. When it's under load (when accelerating) it reveals itself. It's hard to tell what exactly it is from the sound clip but I'd have the front end inspected. It could be wheel bearings starting to go bad or something within the transmission.

Cant be wheel bearings mate, because whenever i pull away my leg from the accelerator pedal it goes off. It comes again after i push the pedal. If it is from transmission that sounds bad right ? ooh dear. 😬

On second thought, I'm leaning towards the transmission. The noise is present when under load. I'm guessing it's an Auto right ?

You can try a fluid change and see if it helps, otherwise get an transmission specialist to look at it.

Yeah it's a Auto. Dear lord. If it's an issue in transmission i might be in trouble 😖

Not necessarily. It could just be that it's not had a service in a long time. Have you had the car long and does it have some kind of service history ?

Another thing that you could also check is the engine mounts. If the mounts are worn, it too can transmit some kind of noise. That's a longer shot, but it's worthwhile checking, especially if the car hasn't had a decent inspection for a while.

Don't despair, the noise isn't that bad and chances are it could be something minor or something that can be nipped in the bud.

Nope. Just had the car for a month now and it doesn't have service history. The engine bay is nice looking. No major leaks as well. No vibrations even when driving. Let's hope nothing major. Thanks mate for your replies 🤩
