I looked, but from what I can tell this question still stands. I have the same thing. My air filter has a whistling sound coming from it (sounds like cicadas and IT's NOT our car's crickets). It made me super paranoid when I first started hearing it, which lead me to change all pulleys on car (except crank), change tensioner, change serpentine belt, pull supercharger (re-install), and I've double.....no, triple....no, quadruple checked the Rotrex fluid. In fact, I'm going to check it again.
I know some aftermarket filters whistle but damn, this sounds a bit much. I've looked at everything in the engine bay but it keeps coming from the air filter/end of the intake tube. I can put my ear/stethoscope to the head unit and it sounds fine, the supercharger belt tension sounds fine, and I have great vacuum at idle (~ -21-22 Hg). The car runs like a scolded dog while shitting razor blades.
I'm thinking the C38 pulls too much air for the filter (Type?, Brand?) and causes the whistle, so a different one may help........but I'm probably wrong. As the only thing I haven't tried is pulling the air filter off and letting it run for a test, so it may not even be the filter at all.
I'm just glad that I'm not the first to ask about it. Any thoughts, comments, experiences?
