Re: A new sound...

[tobyp@xxxx]

It is possible that you were hearing the frequency valve doing its 
thing. It has a definite buzzing sound. If it was more of a hiss 
than a buzz, perhaps it was your mode switch? Without more 
information, it's kind of difficult to propose anything else. Let 
us know if you can better locate the area where the sound is coming 
from. The List may be able to give better advice then.

While the car was idling, this noise began. The best way to 
describe it : you know the "radio fuzz" sound you get when you 
change radio stations with a turn knob radio dial? The 
imcomprehendable "bzzzZZzzzZzz" you get with turning the radio dial 
around, or when your TV shows nothing but "snow"? That's exactly 
the noise I was hearing. It wasn't very loud at all, and it went 
away after about 5 seconds. It did it one more time on the way 
home. When it happened this second time, I hit the accelerator; it 
had no effect on the sound. There didn't seem to be any direct 
correlation between the accelerator and this new sound. It didn't 
sound "rotational"; the sound didn't seem to run in consistant 
cycles. I parked the car, put it in park, and let it idle. Nothing 
happened. Hit the accelerator while in park - no "radio fuzz" sound.
