I was fiddling around taking out the stock speakers today and have left no driver side rear speaker but still have the passenger side one in.

Tonight when the speakers + back seat + pacel shelf were out, every time I touched the accelerator I could hear a whine noise not unlike that which happens in some car stereo systems.

The noise continued for ~3 secs after I take my foot off the accelerator and starts again as soon as my foot touches it again.

I haven't noticed this before so have I screwed up taking the stock stereo gear out, or maybe its because nothing is muffling the sound now?

The sound seems to be coming from the driver side rear near where the removed speaker was. I haven't had a good listen because i'm dead tired after being draged to Harry Potter tonight... it moves as slow as a wet week.

u've stuffed the earthing of your deck. ie the negative wire is connected to the car body somehow... if only one speaker is making the sound maybe some of the wire going to this speaker touches the car body??

this happened to me once so i know how annoying it is:(

I dont think it has anything to do with the speakers because the noise isn't coming out of any speaker. The noise is there when the headunit is off. All i've done to the rear speakers is take one of them out.

Knowing nothing about cars, could it be anything to do with fuel since is only occurs when I put my foot down on the accelerator.

I've had whines cause by car stereo before in my old car and i'm quite positive the speakers have nothing to do with it. The whine through the speakers came through the speakers and its intensity was dictated by how much I reved the engine. This noise doesn't fluctuate, it has a constant pitch and sound level.

any ideas?

I noticed EXACTLY the same thing the other day when I pulled out my rear seat.

It definitely is not stereo related cause i had none in at the time!!

It's only a faint whine.

I thought it may be something related to the cat or exhaust because it only happened when I'd give her some juice, but I really don't know.

Am interested to find out...

dont worry my car does that.. when i had the rear seats out, and even now with just the rear parcel shelf out (quieter but can still hear it)... it is your fuel pump... its normal, just that the sound is coming through :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
