2006 Mountaineer Premier, V8 AWD.
I'm getting a whooping noise that sounds like it's coming from the right rear side. Noise is intermittent, and most closely resembles the start-up of a police car siren. (No cops behind me!) Noise lasts about a second, although on rare occasion it will drag on for a little longer than that.
It happens regardless of whether I'm driving, stopped at a light, or in park.
I can't forcibly replicate the noise or predict when it will happen. If there were some kind of a pneumatic load leveling system in the rear end, I'd suspect that since the noise could almost pass as air leaking out. (No beans for lunch.) It's definitely coming from the back end of the car and sounds like it's on the inside.
It doesn't sound like the same pitch as the back-up sensors. I also considered possible venting from the gas cap, but the noise happens regardless of tank level, temp, humidity, etc. Only other thing back there is the subwoofer, but I'm pretty sure it makes the noise regardless of whether the stereo is on or off.
Dealer couldn't replicate it, so no luck getting it fixed yet.
Any ideas? Thanks.
