![]() After a few weeks of searching, I started the car from cold one day, and found that the noise was very loud on the trans cooler lines going to the radiator. (Mostly out in the garage.) I would disconnect things one at a time, and then wait until the next start-up and listen. Hi Paul, I spent a lot of time trying to track the source of the odd moaning sound. The sound does remind me of water pipes in a house making a howling sound, like from a home heating radiator. I can’t think of anything else, except maybe coolant flow? Reading archives, all I can think of is power steering pressure building up in the hoses/rack? What does this mean? BUT if i turn the steering wheel back and forth, it makes no difference to the sound. It’s just the general engine vicinity, more on the left (drivers) side. It is very hard to determine where the sound is coming from. The sound will also vibrate the chassis a wee bit. I thought it may be brake accumulator vacuum, but pressing brake pedal (to relieve pressure?) makes no difference. If anything, the sound just gets louder, not different in pitch. Meaning, there’s a bit of a delay to the sound giving it rpms. The sound is influenced if I give it some RPMs, but it is indirectly related. I assumed it was belts or pump bearings, but I’ve recently ruled those out. And it seems to happen more on cold mornings. It ONLY happens after first starting engine stone cold in the morning. ![]() It’s a groaning/howling sound that is deep and medium to high pitched which slowly rises in pitch, then suddenly shoots down in pitch (like someone has shifted to the next gear) and then slowly rises higher in pitch, and keeps repeating this pattern for 10 seconds to 1 minute until it finally just fades away. Sounds like a moose far off in the distance. Rifle Range, Bench shooting, Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays.I’m trying to diagnose a sound that I’ve been having the last 6 months from the engine bay.Gun Talk,Reloading, and Wildcat Cartridges.Hunting the Coastal & Vancouver Islands.Quick Navigation Mainland British Columbia Top OK, now your all camo'd out, hid'in by your moose swamp and you start call'in, "WRONG"! Practice at home first, watch a few Moose Call'in video's, THEN try out your Marvie Moose Call! (Patent Pending)! I can't even guess how many Bulls, Cow's and Calf's I've called out with my Coffee can call, it Does Work! Lots of guys call with just there mouth, I can't for some reason, tried all my life, and I've scared away more moose than I'd like to remember, so I use this idea, with great Success I might add! And, I keep my Moose Call in my quad box, and when not in use for call'in in moose, it doubles as a sturdy container to hold my little Coleman camp stove! I found the Leather lace gives a better, deeper tone than normal shoe laces, and the plastic can instead of the metal one seems to work for me, So, good luck out there, and if you do hammer a moose, post some pic's right here on "H.B.C"!!! I tied a knot in both ends, this way I can pull the lace from the top side into the bottom of the can, pour in some water and leave it for a minute or 2 until I'm ready to use it. I've hunted moose all my life, and boy do I suck at call'in moose! So, got me a plastic 2 lb Folgers coffee can, drank all the coffee first, then got a "Leather" shoe lace, poked a hole just big enough to push the lace through the bottom of the can, I then tied a knot on the end that's inside the can, pulled the lace tight so it now hangs out the bottom about 2 feet.
