Anyone elses RX8 make slight grinding sound near 8000 rpm?
Does anyone elses RX8 make a slight "grinding" sound near 8000 RPM? It's actually not really a grinding sound, it's just a deeper sound than the Rotary engine normally makes.
I'm a little worried about my car now that the air compressor blew up and the buzzer near 8500 rpms does not sound....I just bought the car from the dealership 2 weeks ago, and I want to make sure I didn't purchase a lemon (I did a carfax check on the car before I purchased it and it checked out OK....of course, that doesn't take into account mechanical damage that hasn't occured yet).
Thanks for the responses. After all of this, I hope my engine gets recalled.....

i think i know what you're describing, search "marbles in a can" (no joke, really search for that in the title), its a pretty big thread with alot of members talking about that sound.

Thanks for the search guide, dillsrotary. I found exactly the information I was looking for:

Sounds like it's normal! That's relief....first good news I've had since I got the car.
