Anyone else have this weird whirring sound on cold mornings? Only lasts like at most 30 seconds, but once rpms drop it goes away. Went away at the end of the video.

Seems like it originates from the passenger side front of the car.

Fired up Zoe after sitting in the garage all winter. The intermittent whining sounded like belt slippage. Came and went like your video. Not worried about it

Bro sounds like a jet getting ready to take off. I changed my exhaust to a street Nissmo Exhaust sounds great gave me 15 more 🐎 power, but makes a noise in between rpms. I live with sound. Kinda like the sound know. Growing pains...

I have the exact same noise in those cold Canadian mornings. Goes away after half a minute or so. ‘24 performance 6mt. When it happens, dipping the clutch seems to help but not always.
