Default Sounds...

Ok, just trying to confirm these are normal.

First gear I am in, (1st 2nd, 3rd, whatever) I go WOT at 2500rpm. Start speeding up no problem, right towards 5000rpm, maybe a bit later, I hear a sound. Shift, the sound is a bit louder, and doesnt go away. If I hit the throttle at 5krpm I will not hear it. I believe its the "police siren" sound.. but it doesnt sound exactly like a police siren, and the timing of the sound is a bit different then other people have described.

Shutting off I can sometimes hear a fan like sound doing spindown. I think its the mechanical fan thats in the engine bay. Not the turbos, but just in case figured I would ask.<p>Scot Kight

Default Re: Sounds...

Siren sound for me is under light throttle at low rpm's. I can increase/decrease the frequency by messing with throttle input. If I get on it a little the sound disappears under the various other engine noises.

Default Nope thats definitely not it.

as soon as I get off the throttle, the sound is gone. I wonder if I have a bearing going in my turbo.

Anyone in the dc area with the vag tool/program wanna help me monitor my boost?

Default Is your AC on? Might be the compressor shutting off or somesuch.

Try it again and ensure the AC is off

Default all the after shutdown whirring sounds are normal...

there are a number of pumps and fans that can come on automatically after shut down for the turbos and engine bay.

Not sure about the other sounds.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/carssmall4.jpg">

Default Other unexplained sound...

My car makes a buzzing noise around 2000rpm in first gear after the initial startup. Kinda sounds like an actuator or some gears churning. What is this?
