maxima engine whining noise - Stillen - Nissan Maxima

Does anyone know why my 99 Maxima would make a whining noise when I accelerate pretty hard (3500rpm and up)?

I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima SE and recently it has made these high pitched whistling/whining noises when I accelerate on the highway. It is coming from the engine because I had my mechanic check the exhaust for any kinds of gaps or breaks. I have heard


I understand your frustration but there are a couple of things you can do before you climb out on the hood at 65 MPH to listen for the source of the noise. This noise is pretty hard to duplicate under normal conditions, so you are going to need a shop

2012 Nissan Rogue SL Review and Road Test

He’s satirically saying that he’s willing to give up his rule if someone would just bring him a horse already. It’s kind of how I felt while driving our Nissan Rogue press vehicle, equipped with Nissan’s Xtronic Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT), one of the great opinion dividers in the automotive industry and one of the car’s claims to fame, I guess, when it first came to market in 2007 as an ’08 model.

The CVT is tuned primarily to save fuel but also to make driving around town more comfortable; without the need to shuffle through gears, repeated starts and stops aren’t accompanied by annoying lurches. This is why some love it. However, it comes with what I can only describe as a distinct lack in driver involvement and a lot of noise—even more if you accidentally select “L”, which will have the car revving and revving because it thinks you’re climbing a hill and needs an easy power delivery. Since there are no cogs to be swapped in a transmission of this type, it’s sometimes difficult to know exactly what’s going on beneath you, or when you need to add more throttle input (or scrub some off) in order to get the transmission, wheels and engine in unison enough to carry out a passing manoeuvre or freeway entry.
