ok, there are 2 noises here that are weird... i should say the car is driving fine, accelerating well, starting instantly, cruises at 70mph just lovely... getting about 65 to 69mpg
1st is a constant sort of fan noise or air being sucked through a hose type noise, actually more like a fan blowing hard but kind muffled and far away...
it goes away for a brief moment when i touch the accelerator and then comes back...
2nd noise... at first i thought this was a bad engine mount... then maybe drive shaft... but the drive shaft would only make noise if it was actually rotating / car moving?
it seems to only happen when I touch the accelerator but not all the time... in the video (listen with headphones if you can't hear it on your speakers)
car is idling and I touch accelerator - the whiny fan type noise goes away and then comes back... but if I touch the accelerator gently I'll get this "clunk" type sound... It's just me here so I can't take the lid off the engine and listen whilst someone taps accelerator...
maybe it is a flap closing? but seems kinda deep a sound for that? but it kinda has that property when i listen closely...
so not sure maybe bad engine mount maybe flap or something getting slammed or something on engine getting flopped around?
