So why is it that 99% of newer cars make that horrible whining noise when backing up, I never noticed it on my car before, until I let someone else drive it and I watched them drive away. What's the deal?

 

I have no clue as to what you are talking about. Where does it sound like its coming from?

 

that whine has been on cars for as long as I can remember, not really too sure why, maybe it's because reverse is only one gear. I dunno.

 

hmmmm......

 

a really small gear, I might add.

I remember back in the day, I had a pretty big sized Corvette die cast car w/one of those, the more you push, the faster it goes, motors on it......when I'd push it in reverse, it made the same whine, I thought that was so damn cool!

 

I had that problem once as well, I told my girlfriend at the time to get out and it stopped...


I agree with Rich.... Gearing has alot to do with that sound.

 

LMAO, that's comedy

You mean I'm actually making sense?

 

Small gears, bitchy girlfriends, it all makes sense to me.

 

LOL

Nothing worse than a whiny girlfriend

 

oh yes there is how about a whiney wife and kids much worse then just agirl frend that you can tell to leave or go away.
