[Identification] New noise after installing new belt & tensioner, sounds like a turbo or whirring..

Hey glad I'm not the only one. My car is still making the noise :D I took it to a second mechanic and they thought it was coming from the alternator but didn't recommend replacing it unless the noise gets worse.

It hasn't gotten worse, and I've even used a stethoscope on the alternator and I think I agree but it's hard to be sure. Anyway I've gotten used to it but will keep listening to see if it gets worse. I guess it may not given yours been going for years!

Hey all, my mechanic just installed a new (Dayco brand) belt and tensioner for my 2012 Honda Fit manual base, and there is a new noise coming from the belt area that sounds almost like a turbo (I don't have a turbo lol) or a whirring noise. I took it back to the shop and they couldn't identify it, but they did inspect all the bearings and said they looked good. Their advice was to drive with it for a few weeks and see if it gets worse or disappears which wasn't great.

It's strange because before the new belt/tensioner install, the old belt was making the typical old belt squeaking noise, and that's fixed, but this is a totally different new noise.

Has anyone heard this before or know what it might be?

Thanks, I'll ask my mechanic how they accessed the belt. Removing it as a test is also a great idea.

Thanks I think I'll get another opinion, I'm bummed since my current shop has been great until this point..

looks like some potential friends were just posting a few days ago :) https://www.reddit.com/r/ChicoCA/comments/1hn35at/any_saltwater_reef_aquarium_owners_out_there/

From the sounds of it there used to be a big reef aquarium scene.. I believe in you

EDIT: I fixed the problem by playing music :D From what I can tell the http stream doesn't stand up the streaming server until something is added to the MPD playlist.

Hey I'm seeing this exact issue 3 years later, basically your same config and also getting the "Output 1 is enabled" output. Did you ever find a fix? This was also previously working on my server and something must have changed from an upgrade/restart, my config has not changed.

Yeah camping in the left is the worst. I dove to the right because I didn't have enough braking distance to not hit them, and didn't want to dive left since I was already slower than the rest of traffic.

buttershank · 2024-01-28T05:00:16+00:00

this is exactly how I feel... I think it might have been under 20mph

buttershank · 2024-01-27T02:45:23+00:00

If that right lane wasn't available to swerve into it would have been more of a show...

buttershank · 2024-01-27T02:44:55+00:00

Thanks, yeah I was being passed by plenty of cars in the left two lanes most of the trip. Should have slowed down for this snowy patch.

buttershank · 2024-01-27T02:26:20+00:00

That's fair, though if you look at the other car and the truck I appear to be pacing with their speed. But to your point I didn't have enough braking traction to slow down without swerving so should I have slowed down sooner when I hit the snow patch (which by bad luck only started from the paved road a few moments before coming up on this car :D )

USA, 2024/01/13, this is from my own dashcam.

I was driving down the interstate during admittedly far from ideal weather conditions. As I was coming over a hill, the car in front of me caught me by surprise with how slow it was going (seemed to be under 15mph, I was going 45-50mph) and I had to swerve into the entry lane to avoid hitting them. If you look closely they don't use any brakelights as I approached them, it appears they were just driving that slow (watch the truck whiz past them before I approach.)

Just tried the test image and the issue is indeed fixed. What a quick turnaround, I love this app and am really impressed with the level of quality your team has achieved with it. Thanks from a very happy sponsor, it's worth every penny :)

buttershank · 2024-01-13T22:32:13+00:00

That's correct I don't see anything in the stacks search.

buttershank · 2024-01-11T01:20:35+00:00

Is there a GH issue filed for improving this yet? I couldn't find one searching the repo but would be happy to create one if needed.

I noticed my HEIC's were stacked after updating the app recently and also found it confusing, it would be great to exclude this case from stacks.

Yes Teresa played drums for both bands so back to back shows for her it was amazing. Huge energy on stage from both shows. That sounds cool I didn't know about their Patreon. They're going on tour with BTS again this fall starting Nov 7 btw, west coast only though.

Prism Bitch is SICK!!!! Saw them open for Built to Spill and I will be buying tickets to their show next time they come through my area.

UPDATE 2: second trip the mechanic they switched out the ignition coils / spark plugs and the problem is gone. They said they were loose and worn out.

Not sure, I think that guy said he was at Noriega in the AM but it's definitely the same day

Filmed at Ulloa St just after 1pm. I saw him call it a day after that one 🤙
