Ghosty/vacuumy sound past 3k RPM
I don't know if this sound has been there all along, but i'm hearing this ghosty/spooky/vacuumy sound when I get up past 3K RPM. Not really sure how else to describe it. It could be related to the intakes with how it sounds, but I tried out my dad's 08 5AT and the sound wasn't there. My car is an 08 6MT.
Dealer will prob. say it's normal. Just seeing if anyone has noticed this in theirs.

I get this sound too, '08 MT as well. Sounds to me like an electrical humm, like feedback from a ground loop. I notice it most cruising btwn 70-80 in 6th gear (~3k rpm). I asked the dealer about it but they said they couldnt replicate it. There is a TSB is for a similar but separate issue.

For experimental purposes, we measured interior noise both before and after a switch to conventional oil. We found there was a noticeable gain of about six decibels at middle revs in 1st gear but no real discernible difference in maximum cabin loudness. Sans sound meter, some complained about the increase of whirring sounds at low rpm over time, which are reminiscent of radio speaker feedback from an improperly grounded audio system.
