High pitched noise between 90-120

Hey guys I have a 2011 mk1 manual Ute, it has a high pitched noise between 90-120

you can’t hear a thing until you hit 90, and it disappears complete at 120, it’s only noticeable when cruising at that speed, and it only happens when I’m accelerating, as soon as I take my foot off it disappears.

as you can imagine it’s quite hard to diagnose a noise that only happens at highway speed

any help would be greatly appreciated

if it only happens when accelerating it's likely a rear-end suspension component that has a resonance when pushed on as the load transfers to the rear under acceleration. You could probably set it up on a hoist and replicate it by pushing up or pulling down on parts while the wheels are spinning in the air at the relevant speed.

alright, you should be able to find it :) maybe it's just something like a loose wheel weight or something? ... make sure you come back with pics etc when you find out what the problem is :D

yeah, you just share it to YT like you did haha well done.

 

I would be thinking that's something to do with the wheels/tyres, based on the noise.

Possibly, I feel like if it was the wheels, it would happen weather my foot was on the throttle or not

as is as soon as I touch the accelerator it starts, and as soon as I get off it vanishes, I was thinking something along the lines of throttle body/etc

could also just be one of the gaurd liners... when you accelerate it pushes it into a position where wind can whistle through it due to the load transfer but when you're off the throttle it the gap is closed ... so much speculation hahaha
