In Reply to: Pinging--What Exactly Does it Sound Like? posted by Tim in MD on June 17, 2001 at 21:57:49:


Now I know, this should be obvious. Pinging, right? But what is it that I am listening for? How loud is it? I am somewhat hard of hearing (seriously) and this makes it hard for me to pick out very high- or low-frequency noises, especially when there's a lot of background ruckus.

I have a fair amount of advance dialed in right now, and on uphills and other times of engine load I can hear what sounds like an electrical static or buzzing...radio is off. :) It's not terribly loud, but I can hear it. I'm not sure if it's pinging or road/wind/intake noise. If I completely let off the gas, it stops.

Nothing sounds painful, and the noise may well be induction-related, but I don't want to hurt my precious little pistons...

Thanks all!
