    Default 2014 Mazda 3 2.0L 6MT whine noise

    I'm experiencing a whine/whir noise in my car and the dealership said it's just from my winter tires, but i'm fairly certain that's not the case. Can anyone else with a 2014-2017 Mazda 3 6MT let me know if their car exhibits the same noise? If no one else has this problem, i'll try a different dealership.

    With windows closed and radio/fan off (make cabin as quiet as possible), get to about 75-80 KM/H in 6th gear, then let off the gas and coast, listening for a whining noise. The whine should gradually get more faint as your speed decreases. If you notice the whine, then push in the clutch or shift into neutral and see if the whining stops.

    My car exhibits this whining noise at different speeds in different gears, during coasting and light acceleration (harder acceleration and engine noise overpowers the whine). I'm not sure if this is normal fore these cars, or if there may be an issue with my transmission. My previous fully bolted Mazdaspeed 6 was so loud i could hardly hear an ambulance, let alone a faint gear whine.

    Why don't you switch back to your summer tires, then you can eliminate the tires as a cause first.

    My 2010 5MT w/ 2.0L has always been a whiney trans during deceleration coasting. Seems more pronounced in just 2nd and 3rd.

    And yes, wait until you swap over back to your tires per _3. I notice weird drivetrain noises with my Blizzaks which magically goes away when the summers go back on.

    Heard a few more complains about those whine noises on acceleration and deceleration of these newer cars. Hope you find a good dealership that addressed this issue.
