So I posted on another 'Whistling noise' thread and thought I'll copy-paste it here too. Were you guys able to find anything on this issue? What's causing it, how we can quieten it down?!

"I've been having the exact same noise you guys seem to be describing for the past few weeks.

A high pitch whistling noise that happens only when I'm on throttle in the 6th gear, between 3100-3600 rpm, and hits the peak at 3500 rpm and then goes away pretty quickly. In speed terms, around 73-74 mph the noise starts hits peak at 80 mph and goes away after that. Does anyone have any update on this?

It's not the noise tube for sure. I have a Perrin CatBack installed, but others on this thread having the same issue don't seem to have any exhausts installed. I recently changed my trans and diff fluid too, but the noise still persists.

FYI - I have 42,000 miles on this vehicle. No other mods, everything else is stock."

I have the same problem, planning on taking it to the dealer tomorrow. It's definitely not wind noise. Happens in 6th gear and you start to hear it around 3k and gets louder as I go up in rpm. If I throttle off the sound will go away, but once back on throttle, it continues. It gets pretty annoying especially at long highway drives.

Yep, you seem to have the exact same noise then. I plan on taking it to the dealer sometime next week. Please update this thread after your visit to the dealer - I would like to know what they have to say about this. I want to get this fixed soon as the noise can get pretty annoying at highway speeds.

Just got back, they said that it was in normal operating condition. I went with the tech on the test drive and he heard the noise, diagnose the car and compared it to another FRS and said it had the same noise also. So I'm wondering is everyone else hearing this noise other than the people on this thread?

I hear a high-pitched whine in mine at highway speeds. Always assumed it was the fuel pump. Turn up the radio.

I thought it was fuel pump too. Mine at 22k imo it's the differential or transmission since it only occurs at hey speeds in 6th gear.

...you know, the more issues I look for, the more I hear. Gonna start driving without caring. Its just so hard....
