my tintop Syncro (2.1 WBX) has the similar whistling noise from the right rear (or about). The sound is quite similar to a sound from a turbo - beginning low whistle to a medium whistle (I wish I have a turbo ). I get the wheel bearings checked... nope it's not it. My mechanic and myself assumed that the whistling noise is from the alternator pulley (the one with a small fan on it), or the friction from a belt. |
