2007 Aero Combi with 48K. There is a mild growl/whir/howl that varies in pitch (not volume) with engine speed and is most noticeable at low speed and low revs, particularly coasting to a stop sign as the auto downshifts with decreasing speed, and on a gentle takeoff. The closest to this I ever heard was with A/C at idle on hot day in my '02 9-3. It's been happening for a while. Can hear it under the hood by the pulleys but it's easier to isolate while in car. Cranking the radio helps.
Could this be a pulley or related issue, and would it be worth taking to the dealer as a warranty item before the clock strikes 50K? Or is this a common 9-5 sound?
This has probably been answered a hundred ways, but it's difficult finding a post that's right on point.
