    I just purchased a 2004 Accord EX V-6. Whenever I accelerate a slight whisling noise can be heard coming from the engine. Has anyone experienced this? Also after my initial start up there is a slight thump in the front end. Any thoughts? I'm about to make a service appointment.

    I have the same car in a "Desert Mist" but don't hear any whistling or
    thumps. Having trouble figuring out the radio and heater, tho. Let us know
    how your service appointment goes. Ken

    I'm not too sure about the thump but I have a 2003 Accord 4-cyl and I
    noticed the same whistling sounds. I don't mind it though. In fact, one my
    friends comment on how he loved the sound my engine made. He said the
    whistling made it sound like it had a turbo. I wish.

    As far as I know, it's a normal sound. Could it be the timing chain? When
    they redesigned the Accord they went from a belt to a chain. Chain's last
    longer but are known to be louder. Maybe that's what causing that whistling
    sound. Just a guess but you never know.

    EGR valves can often cause whistling noises.
