Whirring/whistling nosie

[tyun777]

First time owner of a turbo charger engine. When I accelerate from a stop, I can hear a whistling/whirring or whining noise. I've read this could be the turbo charged engine making this noise. Do others hear the same noise? It is only obvious if I have windows rolled down and radio turned off.

Hurry take it back!

Your turbo spool cherry has been popped.

Turbos make noise, no doubt about it. How loud? How whirring is it? A certain amount of noise is normal. I drive a 3.5 turbo Transit daily, it whirls and makes racket, but nothing loud. You might want to have yours checked out if you suspect out of the ordinary.

The gen 2 3.5 is much louder externally than the gen 1, enough that I actually enjoy it and keep the windows down.

Yep, turbos are spooling up!

I’ve yet to hear this in my Navigator, and it’s not from a lack of trying. There must be some serious noise insulation in that truck.

roll your windows down! you cant miss it!

I can only hear the noise with my windows down. If windows are up it is barely noticable. If radio is on then I can't hear it at all.
Sounds like whistling is normal, but I'll have the dealer check it out when I take her in for first oil change.

Remove the intake silencers and it sounds even better.

Turbos or blowers make noise. If you want total silence buy an Acura or maybe a Jaguar. Anytime your ramming air through not 1 but 2 hair dryers , called turbos their gonna pump air and make a little noise. The Lincoln version is a little quieter due to extra padding, and sound proofing. Until Ford/Lincoln brings back a V8 like the Coyote 5.0 or bigger, Like Chevy's 6.2, deal with a little whirling. My Chariot fleet that I drive have some of the early Ryder rental vs Ford dealer vehicles with the faster 310 hp turbo models. Huge difference on power/ torque. Unfortunately all the new ones are non turbo, about 95 hp less. I like the whirling sound and pull of torque. But if you don't, you either put up with it or trade it for the competition.

A year ago I rented a 2017 expedition Max for a trip to Yellowstone and I didn't notice any turbo noise whatsoever. The 2018s seem much louder with the new engines. I don't have any issues with the noise. Just wanted to make sure it was normal.
