Dealership & their tech says it sounds fine.
Input please?

 

Wow that sounds weird as hell. Almost like a warm summer night by the lake with a bunch of bullfrogs chirpin. I can't say anything about the sound being normal . . . but even me not having a s/c thinks that sounds messed up.

Sounds like crickets to me. Its no bueno either way. Show them either video of my car and ask them what gives.

 

Wow that sounds pretty bad. Maybe try another dealer?

 

i remember some guy that had this happen to his s/c before. Don't remember if he figured out what was wrong or what. let me see if I can dig up the thread for you c.

sound like that? didn't read the entire topic but looks like the guy had his airbox and belt replaced.

 

Well my supercharger has a whining noise coming out of it that recently started about a week ago but it doesn't sound like this one because this one has a clicking noise as well. I'm taking my car to the dealership on Wednesday to have it checked out.

 

which dealership you taking it to ant?

sounds like bullfrogs at night..try different dealership although they may tell you to go back to the one that installed it for you, worth a shot though.

 

I'm taking it back to joe myers, the noise started like last week so I'm gonna see what they say.

 

I'm going to bring the camera to the dealership so they can't give me the excuse that they don't hear the noise once i leave the car with them.

 

Is the back of your pulley rubbing on that bolt that attaches to the bracket????? I bet it has paint rubbed off the back of it.

 

I'll have to look into that, thanx for the tip

 

your supercharged tc's purr has turned into a snoring.

 

dude seriously...I feel its a dying creature...=/

 

well, maybe they dealership doesn't want to replace your supercharger, maybe they want to replace the entire engine when the problem gets worst.

 

yea that does not sound good, maybe the bearings are bad?

 

I specifically mentioned that when i went to the dealershipand they said "its ok"

 

eh more like they think a girl doesn't know what she's talkin bout and is paranoid.

 

A small continuous chirping noise is normal, the pulsing yours is doing would have me concerned as well. That is not how any vortech I have heard sounds. Does the pulsing sound like it is mainly coming from the pulley side..?

 

Sounds like it's coming more from the pulley side than the compressor side. Check the alignment of the pulleys and see if there is any side to side movement. If there isnt any thing out of the ordinary there then it's most likely a pulley side shaft bearing. I'm no expert but it doesn't sound right to me. Good luck!
