Default new noise from engine...... Sounds like the "Coke bottle" sound I remember reading about on here

a while back. I remember someone describing this sound, but, I don't remember what the cause of this sound was? It sounds like someone blowing on a glass coke bottle, I only hear it at Idle, and it appears to be coming from the front part of the engine bay.. Any suggestions?

Default easy.

with coke, you'll get a "feh" noise.

with pepsi, you'll get an "aaaaaahhhhh" noise.

sounds like a by-pass valve,motor should also be down on power at the top.noise should be coming from the right side lower part of the motor

Default by "at the top" you mean it should lose power in the top of the RPM band?

I haven't noticed any huge power loss, but, it just started making this noise about 3-4 days ago.. btw, thanks for the reply, it sounds like this is my problem.
