Help please
hey people. I am hearing a noise from about midway into my car. I swear to god it sounds like a belt is going but the noise is not coming from the engine. has anyone else experienced this problem or have any ideas. Like i said it comes from about the middle of the car and its a squealing noise. Also it doesn't happen all the time and only when i am stopped, while in drive....say at a red light. When i put the car in neutral the noise stops. My car is an 04 auto with close to 71k miles on it.

I would guess that it is the original fluid since i have not had it changed. but i bought it used with 60k miles on it. Would that be causing the noise underneath my car though?....just sounds more like an engine noise would occur...but this is my first rotary engine so i could in all likely hood be wrong...

I would change the ATF since i doubt it has been changed. If you could get a sound clip of the noise that would help a lot. Do you think it could be vibration or is it a squeal. If its vibration then its your motor mounts. Does the car have any power loss?

^careful with dealerships - i've been lurking around and noticing a lot of people are getting jipped - getting something changed or repaired that have nothing to do with what's really wrong.
Like razz stated, a 'marbles in a can' sound at a certain rpm and a slight whistle could be a CAT issue. I currently have the same sound going on now because i hit something while going up a driveway. Do you have a CEL(check engine light)? Are there any local members that could possibly help?

^ is a bot?? but never mind that I have the same problem too!! I have a 2004 Auto with 52k on it and when the car hit around 51k i noticed that in the garage that my car made a squealing noise in only D or R not in N. Also from 1k to 3k when i hit the peddle i hear a sort of rumbling noise like the exhaust is shaking or something. I don't rember if i got a loss of power tho.. i mean i have noticed that my 0 to ~15 MPH is really sluggish, my families 09 corrola is faster then the rx8
i can get a record of the noise if anyone wants. *Disclaimer I have spelled many words wrong.. i dont care**
edit: the car takes like 3 to 4 cranks to start
it was like 2 when i got it but its been getting harder.. even when its warmed up and hot.

anyone got any idea?? i kind of think its my cat.. because today when i cleaned it (by clean i mean rubbing the bottom near the little square, and taking the dirt off)... i think when near December i ran over a deer.. a dead one on the road i might have banged it up. but when i clean it, it goods WOOt nice and fast starting up and once i drive it for a bit it gets shitty again and it feels/sounds like the exhaust it shacking or burbling.. got any idea??
