Does anyone know why this is happening? when i apply the gas in local slow driving i hear a slight squeal....not quite sute if its a whistle....dont think it is....seems to be like a very very faint brake squel but occurs when the gas is pressed and the car starts to move but goes away once speed increases. any ideas??? ill probably just take it to the dealer ...it has to go in anyway for somethin else.

Is it a high pitched sound, because i get that too then.

If you get a high pitch whistle when applying the throttle, that is the sound a rotary makes, kinda like a supercharger, but only quieter.

I've been known to squeal when I push on the gas. :D

Actually, that is a bit of pre-ignition that happens when accelerate from idle and the ignition timing scheme switches.
There is a lot of initial ignition advance under light throttle (to make it "crisp").
This is "normal" and not an issue. Kind of a "fingernail-on-chalkboard" type of sound for about 1/2 of a second at most.
