Guess I am not the only once only mine does it all the time. Any updates on this?

 

not sure if anyone has posted this but check your power steering fluid. mine was making the noise and it went away after i topped up. dealer was giving me the stories i read about in the first page as well.

 

My 09 GTS started making this noise a few weeks ago. At first I thought it was a pebble that got stuck in the rear brake pad but the noise won't go away. I only hear it going 1-5mph with my foot off the brake. Soon as I depress the brake pedal, the noise is gone.

 

Ur sure this is a whining, not a squeal, creak or scraping sound?

Does the sound change if u put the car into Neutral?

 

I am 99% certain it's from the driver rear brake. The noise occurs in neutral. The only time I don't hear the noise when under 5mph is when I touch the brake pedal.

 

The parking brake on these things are prone to sticking. Try engaging it fully, and popping it back out a few times

 

My GTS has a manual transmission so I use the parking brake every day. I'm going to pop the wheel off this weekend and see if I can find anything.

 

Hey folks. I have a 2005 CTT with 80000 miles and have had the dreaded whining issue as well. I just had my cardan shaft replaced, and it seems as though the issue is better, but the whine is still there from time to time. It has only ever occurred when accelerating, mainly from a stand still. You can hear a whine/moan and a faint vibration in the steering wheel... ideas if it isn't the cardan shaft? Could it be the tranny or front diff is going bad? Thanks!

 

Hey I got the same issue "whining noise", 1-5 mph, while breaking or accelerating slowly, usually when car is cold, on my 2006 Cayenne Turbo. This is random and doesn't happen all the time. I can tell it's not the wheel bearing by driving the car in circles left and right on a parking lot and it is not a grinding noise but a whining noise. I'll try to record it today and see if it happens. Someone has to know what this is, I know couple of members posted that this is normal, but I disagree, and I hope it's something stupid and not the transmission. Oh ya it sounds like this "whe whe whe whee wheee" and stops when I come to a complete stop :/.

 

Ya I wish I knew what it was. Dealer was useless, replaced the Cardan Shaft after I asked them to but it has done little to solve the issue. They tried to tell me I should expect that when there is 450hp going through the drive train... what a cop out!
I haven`t had any further issues while breaking but the whining is annoying and I still get the faint vibration in the steering wheel at the same time whilst accelerating. Not sure what else to do...

 

Yes it's annoying when you drive a car that cost over 100K new, and hear whining noises that dealer can't even diagnose, but I'll take it apart piece by piece if I have to.

 

If I was savvy enough I would do the same... If you happen to figure anything out let me know will ya? Only think I can think of is the tranny, the front diff or the transfer case. Not sure which one is more likely to cause vibration in the steering wheel though

 

As promised here is the video trying to diagnose this POS. I hope we are talking about the same thing.


if you have or had the same issue post here what it was. In the mean time I will try to do my own diagnosis. I also started hearing some ticking noise in the rear... at 1:34 tick tick tick, sounds like a relay, or cd changer? clear sound of wining at 2:50.

 

Hmmm... not the same sound as mine, mine is more of a lower moan... kind of like the sound a whale makes ha ha, but a little more subtle than yours. Yours almost sounds like a more natural turbo whine, though you dont normally hear the turbo in these so not too sure...

 

my 06 ctts whines as well, 83k miles. sounds to me like the transmission though the ps pump could be a possibility as well. same as another post, i really only hear it when the window/s are down. definitely not brake related in my case and the cardan shaft would be highly unlikely imo.
