Engine Noise
Hi Guys,
Just purchased my first 911, 2013 85k miles, base, PDK. Quick question about engine noise:
When I rev out the car (under load, never tried in neutral), there is a distinct change in sound starting at 7,000 RPM that then goes away when the PDK shifts. I would say it sounds like a straight cut gear/whining noise.
Everything sounds perfectly normal to me in all other cirmcumstances. Car has a documented maintenance history, just had the 80k service done this spring. PDK service is coming due and i plan to have that dealt with this summer or fall.
Just want to know if this is normal/expected, a known issue, or an i'm screwed situation.
Thanks in advance!

Try to record the sound. It's going to be hard to weigh in otherwise. There is not normally a distinct change in pitch at 7k RPM but it could be a harmless vibration from something being a bit loose on the chassis.

Seems like leaving the phone on the parcel shelf may be the ticket for this one.
