In the last couple of weeks my car has started making this "whurrrr " noise. It sounds like wind blowing through a small opening. I guess it's kind of hard to describe. It used to only make this noise when it was really cold outside (-20 C or below) but lately it's been doing it in warmer weather too. It stops making this noise at apox 2200 RPM, it's the loudest at 1800 and it still does it at idle. I was thinking it may be a loose belt but there are no squeeking noises or anything like that. I tired putting in a louder stereo but that didn't fix it
.Anybody else have this trouble or know what to look for? Thanks.
By the way, it's a 97 2.2 L 5 speed .

yeah my car made a whirl noise right before I had to replace the entire tranny. I hope to God your whirl is something else
.

Was it making it all the time or just at low RPM's? Is this something that I can prevent by getting it checked out now, it is it just gonna go and be the end of it?
Any cracks in your exhaust manifold? Or a crack or hold in the exaust pipe? Maybe its an exhaust or intake leak somewhere?

that would make a noise the whole time, and exhast leaks usually happen from like 2000-redline, not the other way around

Could it be that the air filter is loose. The air is rushing around it at low RPM's because it's not sucking in as hard. Then as the engine speeds up it sucks harder and closes the gas. Does this make sense or am I talking out of my @$$ ?
^doubt it, b4 it would take like 5 seconds to fix, so try it out.
and to edit my previous statment "u can only HEAR exhast leaks from 2000-reline usually." sorry bout any confusion.
