GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
john87:
I think the whistling noise is purely down to the mass of air moving through the pipework - think of blowing through a straw, sometimes that whistles...
My twintake does it too, as does the youtube example where the camera is mounted to the Golf's grille..
Banham:
Mine does it to. Not sure what revs its starts at but its under hard acceleration :evilgrin:
RedRobin:
.
I haven't noticed if I've got the 'whistling' sound but I have a 470-mile drive on Monday so I'll focus on it then.
This vid showcases the sound very well, especially at around 1:30 but it's interesting that the guy finds it "rather cool":
I think it's simply down to the individual car's package of modifications and the inevitable harmonics. Folks have every right to complain or not want to hear it, but we each enjoy different things and sounds, as we do in our musical tastes.

Can i add at this point that whilst it's been documented that i too have a whistle every now and again with my Twintake, i do not get THIS kind of high-pitched whistle. When i plant my right foot, i hear ONLY a spool up and my exhaust coming to life! Yes, this would very much get on my t*ts too!! My whistle (much quieter than this) only happens at low revs and at low speeds...
