2018 Charger Scat Pack Whistling
Hey everyone,
I have a 2018 scat pack that is making a whistling noise... I don't have a cold air intake or anything. I thought maybe it was my air intake, but I don't think it is anymore. It is intermittent but very audible as seen in the video below.

Any ideas on what this is? Is it something I need to take into the dealer or is this just some weird funky noise? Anyone familiar with it? ANY help would be appreciated!

Okay... so the forums won't let me post the video... If anyone can help me out, I'd be happy to share the youtube link with everyone! Or even if anyone can vet the video and then post the link on my behalf?

I'd be very interested to learn also...My 2018 R/T with only 3K mi on it, just did the same few weeks ago...Remains intermittent...and came about after a hard , full accelleration...Sound seems like a window seal air leak..but it is NOT...it seems to be underhood, and needs to be cruising at near hwy speed to cause it...and not repeatedly...Is your whistle like that ?

Ditto...Can't duplicate in neutral....even if reving....I can't pin point where...Has to be related to the hard acceleration just seconds before the whistling..Quite certain

It will be a "can't duplicate" at the Dealer service dept....and they won't over-time a quick test drive,,,so I haven't bothered to go that way...yet...and think the sound is just like a bad weather seal or a window not fully closed...But I know [and sure you as well know]....it's not...Hope we're not the only two to ever have had this whistle..

Good luck....I believe it is a vacuum leak...somewhere on engine "thingies" ..Unfortunately, it is intermittent , but always needs to be "heard" while driving...Not sitting still...This is why I think the service depts are going to pass on it...unless it happens during any short test drive they perform...50/50 chance...and mine seems to need 40-50 mph to occur...My dealership is located in congested area of roads...and past experience, they do warn "they do not drive it at hwy speeds to evaluate"...Good luck with your visit...and I hope you will post the results...

When you are sitting still, run the windows down and then all the way up.
Bump the up switch a couple times more.

I haven't had the whistle, but there was briefly a concussion feeling.
It was related to taking the p-side front window down while in motion.

I lowered the rear glass, raised the front, then raised the rear.
There is a different air flow over the front and rear windows.
The concussion feeling did not return.

But that may not be your problem.

I have hopefully good news for you! I took it in for an oil change, tire rotation, and they took it out for a drive to try and find the whistle.

They currently believe that the whistle was caused by the one of the front tires being “chopped,” which I assume means the tread was slightly messed up. I do have the original factory tires that are extremely soft, so I would believe it. They moved the tires to the rear and it no longer made the noise.

I have not had any time to verify it’s gone, but they didn’t hear the noise when they drove it again. Since tire rotations are cheap, it would be a great place to start! Especially since the sounds you’ve described are exactly what I’d been hearing.

To the poster above, that’s a good suggestion! I think I had put the windows up and down to test it, but now I’m doubting it. That’s a good thing to try as well! Thanks!

This may be the best tip....Even thou, the whistle sound only came about after a hard acceleration , and vehicle was not stopped, slowed down, nor any doors or windows opened and reclosed...As I'm sure the OP would say Ditto...However, my further investigating on my car, I cruised up to speed, then paddle shifted to lower gears, listening carefully to whistle sound...the eng RPM went up, but the whistle sound remained "constant"...Sooo, It does seem to be only related to vehicle speed...a vacuum leak could maybe ruled out ?...Maybe the front fender seals come loose when vehicle hits a higher speed..In my case...perhaps 80 mph....But would think other members woulda encountered this also...It is strange , that he and myself have both encountered this "immediately" after the hard run ... I am concerned it may be a sound from the Trans....Hope not...! Sorry.. Not trying to Hi jack thread..and still waiting to hear about his trip to his dealer soon...
As for Forumr post...i don;t understand how scalloped tire could suddenly make a sound after fast drive...and be silent prior...at 40 mpg in my case..Scalloped tread has caused a buffeting [concussion] sorta pulsating sound ...Not a whistle...in past vehicles I've owned..!

I'll con't to watch your thread ...to learn whether your whistle sound did indeed go away after tire rotation..!!
