An odd sound

[JimboJames]

I have an odd side sound in my cab that I hear randomly. Its hard to describe the sound. My wife said sounds like an owl a faint "hoo". Its get annoying at times.

Does it sound like a tea kettle whistling and do it more if you get on the throttle hard and then let off?

turbo fart maybe?

My turbo makes a sound similar to that. Not the tea kettle puke sound. Just the normal turbo sound for me! Kind of like a whooo

So it could possibly be the turbo? It can happen cruising alone without getting on the throttle. It also happens when I let off the throttle.

Yea! I found that if you are an auto finatic, you find any noise and think it is an issue. Also, internet boards help make you think you have issues too!

i hear the name thing i beleive its the turbo vains moving back when u let off the throttle, thats the only thing i can think of, ill find out this weekend when i clean my turbo and see if its all crapped up

Get on the throttle and release it fast, if you hear the sound then its air going back into thru your intake aka Turbo Fart 05- newer seem to do it more then the older ones.

I hear not only on the throttle, but I do hear it when I let off the throttle quickly. So how do I get rid of this turbo fart?

You don't, it's normal.
