Growling Spyder

[InspectorGadget]

I have noticed that for the last few weeks after I start the engine I can hear a growling sound coming from under the front of my RT. It may only last 3-5 seconds, but it is now more noticable and frequent, occuring at random times.
I have not heard it with the engine off, and the machine still runs fine and handles great. I know the DPS is under there, but there is another motor or something there above the suspension area in the center.
Has anyone experienced this and if so what is it?????
Thanks for any input. C-YA RL

If it's an RT-S, could be the air compressor? :dontknow: If it's running more than usual, could be an air leak. I had mine repaired under warranty.

R.L., I've had the same sound. I likened it more to a frog around midnight. I've suspected that it has something to do with the back shock settings, but what do I know?

If you and Mary are gonna be going on the ride to Cedar Key, perhaps we can compare noises.?? :yikes:

I don't mean to be rude but I'm wondering if you have hearing problems or less than good hearing? The compressor sound is pretty noticeable and occurs fairly often so I would think that you would be familiar with the sound.

Actually I do. I wear hearing aids most of the time.

That is a possability. Is the compressor mounted between the frunk and the engine in the front???
