Hearing a sound
« on: August 05, 2018, 08:18:49 PM »
It sounds like it’s linked to my revving, as I rev up, the whirring gets louder, as I ease off, it ceases. How do I check what the source of this is, so I can stop it?

Say, Karl... That brings up a really good question.

How would one go about making a recording of a specific sound? What setup should one use?

I know that's two questions, but....

Seriously, I'd really like to know how one would go about even attempting to make a recording.

Most guys just stick their phone near the works. Seems to work pretty well. We have figured out valve noise, locked starter clutches and stuff that way.

Oh...
I was thinking some elaborate microphone/recorder setup.

Hey everyone, so the sound went away after a 10 minute ride, which leads me to believe it was a street rock. But this is sound input to diagnose any future sounds that may occur.

Road speed related, engine speed related, wheel speed, etc. Have to separate them carefully to get at the cause. Your case was to change surface conditions and the sound changed or went away. All part of the wacky world of troubleshooting!
