I just started my car to let it warm up and it made a sound that it's made a few times now. I was just sitting here in the computer room and I hear my car make this really loud low-pitch moaning sound as it's just sitting the idling. It's also made the same sound a few times while I was down-shifting. It sounds like a damn bull horn or something and sounds like something might be rubbing together. It only does it for a couple of seconds. I have no clue what it could be, I've never heard a car make this sound. Anyone know?

In my '00 GT I found it to be the air humming as it went through the intake, especially around the throttle body and plenum. Once the car warmed up it quit.

Well, I hope that's all it is. I've got too many plans for this car to be held back by repairs.....

You could do a search on the humming sound as this has been brought up before a few times. I don't remember what came about it as my '00 was totaled and my '02 doesn't do that.

OE replacement, made by Wells. I've had one for about a year from Autozone, no problems.
