Delawaredave Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 2010 Fusion. 4 cylinder. Car just started making a "whir" sound that seems like coming from transmission in center of car (vacuum cleaner kind of sound). Goes up with engine RPM (in both N and D). Once car gets up to top gear, get s quiet (maybe still there, just low RPM). Any ideas ? I'll try recording sound and posting. Thanks ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingItalian Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Did you ever figure out what the noise is? Description of the noise appears to be the same as my car but I have not had time to bother with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Description of the noise appears to be the same as my car but I have not had time to bother with it. Haven't done anything. My noise happens in all transmissions gears (P N D) - so now I don't think it is the tranny. If I had to guess, it is a noisy bearing in the alternator - I had a Taurus years ago that made a similar noise, I believe. Did a quick look under hood and I couldn't immediately see the alternator. Annoying but doesn't sound like a "serious noise". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingItalian Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 interesting, mine is mostly louder in the morning when the car is cold, seems to quiet down as the car warms up, i am going to try to get it to the dealership next week so the service manager can hear it, i'll let you know what he says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. My car is a company car - so I turn the radio up and the sound goes away.... I'll be turning it in soon anyhow - have almost 50k on a 2010..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
