Fixed it for ya!
Makes sense. Hard to believe an engine is still running a mechanical fuel pump in 2020, but maybe the electric ones are less reliable at those high pressures.
Interesting that my wife has a 2.0T SX Limited, and never heard that noise. The engine is noisy due to DI, but never heard a 2K+ rpm rattle, and I drive it in manual mode all the time. Will pay attention next time I drive it out of curiosity, but doubt I missed it
.Hey, let us know what your dealer says. Also ask them if you run the engine right at that rpm range on the highway, if it could be a problem. That rpm range is right in the cruising range in 6th from about 75 to 90. So hopefully not, and I wouldn't care then. As I can only hear it with exhaust in quiet, and when going slow, which will rarely happen. When I drive alone I use sport exhaust, and can't hear it at all.
How do you determine the source of a noise with data logging? If that's the case, it must be causing something to fluctuate then, so it might not be as harmless to the engine if you park it in the 'rattling' range on a long trip, as some people think, no?
That’s 100% fuel system.
I'll start by stating the obvious, I'm no mechanic. Our cars have 2 fuel systems and the data log proved that around the 2500 range is when the fuels systems transition. DI at higher RPM I think. The reason why we hear it is because under that RPM range it's quiet. My theory is that a fully DI car (like my last one) just makes it all the time so you're used to it. Again, no mechanic and just mostly repeating what I've read. Forgive me if I'm totally wrong lol.Makes sense.

i had the 2.4 NA.. it was a 2015 base model automatic, i drove it around in manual mode all the time as well.. only way that thing felt like it had any power.. it didnt.. but it a lot more fun to drive that wayInteresting that my wife has a 2.0T SX Limited, and never heard that noise.

Like I said earlier, I just hit the gas harder so I don't hear it. LOVE this car!
It will certainly speak up when you crack the loud pedal. I love the transition in tone and volume around 4K on my GT. I assume that’s when the IMRC goes full open under 3/4 throttle or so.
according to the stock data logs, 3180 rpm. This is for a 15-17 however. 18+ probably the same.
Took the advise from another member here to do this, around 4k on an on ramp in 2nd (M6 car) and hit it. Smiles for the next few freeway miles. Want axle backs because the stocks look cheap but they sound soooo good I just can't. Only did an X pipe. Also, if you drive with the rear seat backs folded down, you hear more goodness in the cabin.
Oh, that makes perfect sense now. Forgot about that little detail (about having both port and direct injection)
. Sorry for the brain fart.I don't have one. Ha ha. And not 'worried'; just wanted to know what it was, and that no damage happens if you park the engine right at that range for hours on a long trip. That's all
