Does this unit have a whistle to it like the K&N does?

If you have your radio off and dead silence in the vehicle you can hear a slight whistle while cruising at highway speeds. When you get on the gas hard you get a nice v8 throttly sound almost like you have exhaust.

A slight whistle/"sucking" sound as it draws in air but that is the nature will all of intakes. The custom intake on my 2013 STI does this as well as the prototype intake on my 2015 STI. Will add this, if you are looking for a gain in HP or MPG these two things can only be accomplished with a tune of some type. Most people don't realize changing to a non OEM intake alters the AFR that the car's ECU comes programmed to work effectively on. The $800+ "tuner" that is out there for the Tundra is BS and a waste of money, I tested it when it was released and showed zero real world gain of any kind.

A small whistle sound when you gear down, mainly a throaty sound when you punch the gas though. If you have exhaust it is hard to hear the whistle

Yes it does. It's not too loud but you can hear it. I've had my afe cold air system on my truck for about 4months now and I hardly notice it anymore. Although I don't like it when I hear the whistle noise, I really like the overall sound of having the unit on my truck. Hope that helps.

i just installed it yesterday and i do get a slight whistling noise. afe called me back and said to open up the crank case line a little more which is the cause of it, so i'll post back if that ends up resolving it. it's a shame though that customers have to do this to make an unnecessary noise go away.

Haven't noticed a whistle, but when going up hill it roars enough you might reach for the radio volume control.

No, but Paula Deen makes a model that whistles. It doesn't have the classic lines that this one does. If Amazon doesn't have it, you can check pauladeenstore.com.

Nope!!! It does not have and my daughters too keep asking me to install a horn to their car..... I guess i will install one by myself...

no. It has a knob in which you turn from slower to faster air flow. it's sort of like a lamp with a dimmer.....dimmer to brighter. I'm not sure if we installed ours exactly right but it's loud for a small motor. We don't know if it's the unit or our installation. just a head's up. our initial blower on the coal stove was much softer.

It doesn't whistle. The steam shoots out as the pressure builds and it's loud, but I don't believe there is an actual whistle. And yes, that part of the apparatus can be unscrewed, but that may effect functionality.

Yes it does.There is a small bottle of smoke fluid included,that will actually last quite a while.A switch underneath the locomotive turns the smoke feature On/Off.I own over twenty starter sets,and this is one of my favorites.Buy it!

No whistling noise on mine. I'm guessing you have one that may be defective. If you used the washer that came with it, I'd try pulling that out first.

Yes it does and my overall rating for this unit is very good quit running easy on fuel

Hi Judith-- the instructions only provide information for stove top so I have to assume they are not, especially with the lid valve design allows you to listen for the whistle. Hope this is helpful. I really enjoy my set!

Yes, a very loud whistle is created by a "ball and valve" system in the spout. When you pick up the kettle, it should have a bit of a rattle which is that little ball jiggling. You will love this kettle!!!

It whistles at a very low sound... it's not the main cause of whistling, whistles more with air filter upgrades, even with a k and n panel filter in your air box. The noise isn't loud, and it's not a major cause of whistling. Hopefully this helps

No it does not, never noticed until you brought it up. Still works fine.for hobby shop work. Completed a Dana 40 rear change ok, would want a better unit if doing regularly

The one I purchased does not. It is also noisier than a '68 Chevelle SS with Hooker Headers. Decent trim though...

no but I can tell you I was not happy with Kettle. I purchased two other ones and they were fine. This whistle never worked.

The bell sound is not an option on this model, there is a button on the transformer for a bell, however it is not compatible with this train, it does have a manually operated whistle.

Yes it does. You will eventually need a filter cleaning kit and I also put K&N;'s waterproof cover on mine (just to ensure no moisture gets in the intake).
