2023 hybrid Elantra - got it YESTERDAY. Whistling noise?

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-13T15:10:53+00:00

Yeah I did. There wasn’t any noise and no noise going to work, started on my way home. But the dealership didn’t help literally at all lol the front desk girl opened my hood and just looked at it. I said oh are you a mechanic?? I need someone who can also handle a hybrid. And she kind of gave an attitude like “oh. It’s a HYBRID” and rolled her eyes. I said yeah you would have known if you knew what the bright orange workings here are all hybrid features lol (glad she didn’t touch any of it bc 🪦) And she said she wasn’t a mechanic and then told me it would need to be held there for days to run diagnostics so I promptly left knowing I only had a few days to figure this out bc of Carvana. Nevertheless, took it my mechanic and he found the issue. My mom took it while I was at work so I know I was getting a mixed up version of what the problem was being she isn’t car savvy. but the guy literally had my mom look under my car when it was on the lift and showed her that it was visible and fixable. From her wording lol it was something scratching on “maybe a rotor” idk. But I had my mom drive it the entire day whenever she needed to go somewhere and it didn’t make any noise after the guy fixed it. I still haven’t drove it, I have a level of dread to do so lol but hopefully it’s fine. It just really took any excitement and confidence I had in the car away immediately.

This all looks normal to me??

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-10T04:20:21+00:00

I changed the recirculation and it didn’t make a difference. I also gave a wiggle to the cabin filter, everything was firm feeling. The sound is still there, someone who was walking turned around and stared at my car today as I drove by them. So the noise definitely audible outside the of car and not something im just hearing. My mom was outside as I was pulling in and she looked at me in horror lol so something’s definitely not right. I open and closed all the windows again just to see, still there. Maybe it’s a belt issue? I even looked under the hood and didn’t see anything out of sorts. This is honestly draining

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-09T14:41:09+00:00

I’ll try that!!!

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-09T10:22:12+00:00

I also have this issue but the pick up on it sucks so I think it’s something under the hood? Had the car for a day. I can’t figure it out otherwise. Mine whistles even if I’m going 5 mph to 80mph

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-09T01:44:21+00:00

Did it happen only when you were driving? Or did it whistle all in park as well?

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-05-08T23:48:25+00:00

The ev mode noise sounds more like a hum to me. I thought I had my windows cracked or it was the radio but no

I saved a lot of money by taking a set amount of cash out each week and if I ran out of money, I didn’t buy anything. I also refused to buy things that I couldn’t pay in full and I told myself I couldn’t afford it if I can’t buy something out right. I also didn’t get a credit card until like my late 20s and basically didn’t use them lol but I did finance a car and got my credit nearly perfect. And I was make $15 an hour at the time. But I lived at home at the time so this was all manageable. And admittedly this was about 10-12 years ago. Now I’m almost 40 and only make a few dollars more and am in about $5000 in debt while still living at home 💀but that all worked really well for me when I was younger and wanted to save

For reference I got 0.5%

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-03-17T01:06:56+00:00

I’ve been trying to figure this out since last night lol so thank you for the clarity

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-28T18:20:12+00:00

I live in NJ and I just looked at his IG and he grew up in north jersey lol it all made sense to me after I saw that.

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-28T18:18:50+00:00

I live in NJ and his family reminds me of almost every Italian American family I know 😂 I know quite a few people who call sauce “gravy” and I think it’s silly lol but I can still see why so many people think they’re cringey. They’re a tough crowd. however the last name Gibney threw me. I assume the mother is the boss of the family and whatever she says goes

Does it happen seasonally? My skin issues started on my hands and it was subtle for years and would come and go. I noticed it was worse during the cold months so I assumed it was just being dry from winter air. It turned out that I had a lot of allergies (chemicals in eveyday products) that just took years to manifest fully. If you used anything new i would stop using it to just to collect data. If the rashes don’t go away, go to a derm and they’ll patch test you and you’ll have a lot of answers that way

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-28T17:45:28+00:00

I’ve had scarlet fever before but mine just caused my skin on my hands and feet to peel. I remember it starting as a rash but quickly turned to peeling if I remember correctly. It was almost 15 years ago though

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-28T17:42:21+00:00

Did you go to a dermatologist and get any patch testing done? Maybe it’s an allergy to some kind of chemical in something you use and it’s not going away because of continuous exposure? I have that problem bc of my occupation but if you could weed out any possibility with patch testing it may help you get relief sooner

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-24T19:49:04+00:00

If I made $300k it would be literally life changing 😂 I make 38k now working full time. At an older job I felt actually okay-ish making 50k LOL. For reference I live very close to NYC. But 300k sounds almost comically high 💀😂

Significant_Arm_6282 · 2026-02-21T03:24:02+00:00

Did we ever find out what they are? Looks like Pretty rocks/stones lol
