When I near the top end of the acceleration curve in my '97 GT (5sfe engine) I hear a kind of high-pitched whistle. It's not a squeal, like a belt noise, but similarly pitched. The thing is, it's done this for several months, with no apparent drop in performance or any other negative effects that I've noticed. I will be visiting my local Toyota specialist in the next couple of weeks for a few minor items that I just don't have the time/patience to manage and I'll mention it to them (big shout out to Japanese Auto Masters, Va Beach
 ), but I got to thinking about this the other day and just wondered if anyone here has experienced anything like this. Thanks.

Yeah, that's exactly it - like a dinky little supercharger. Nice description. Also, thanks, GriffGirl for the tip. My 4Runner never did make a noise like this one - at least none that I could hear over all of the other noises that it made
