I have 165,000km on it. I just got the car a few months back and it's always made that sound. It's a manual. I had a hole in my old filter. just a regular style filter like the one RRM sells but it was Ractive. Now I have a blue filter like the one's in the pics above. I still dunno why it does it lol.

 

It's probably because that filter. Should switch to a regular one and get some sound clips.

 

dude....i've said a couple times i had a regular filter before and it still made the same sound

 

I have an AEM filter and it makes the same sound. I don't think that's the reason. I can understand why his (and mine, and others) make the sound when shutting it off. It is kind of like relieving the car of excess air.. but I don't get why it does it on start up too.

 

idk if this helps or not but my brother had a 2002 sentra SER spec-v with a nismo short ram and nismo filter and it would make a rather loud purge sound when it was started and turned off. that is till it threw a cap threw the block! LMFAO

 

My buddy has a cobalt and every time he turns his car off, it makes a sound like that. I always give him a hard time saying that his car is passing gas or letting go of its last breathe of air and it won't start again. Not that I don't give him enough crap for driving an american car that wishes it was an import. Anyways, as far as I know it is just the last bit of air in the engine being released. I have only heard it when the car is turning off tho so I am not sure about when it turns on...

 

i also have an AEM dryflo airfilter but it has never done this before...... very interesting.

 

the sound actually comes on shutdown and....not when the engine starts, but when I put it into the accessory position. My engine isn't running in the video (the fan was running for a minute after i turned it off) but if you hear a couple clicks that's me turning the key to the accessory position to get it to purge. took two tries. weird.

Did it when I pulled up at a large gas station tonight. Got to the pump, shut off and it purged....I always get a few looks when that happens hahaha

 

Which is why I suggested getting sound clips of both (each filter).

Same here. Never heard this sound before.

 

so it doesnt do it when u start the car, it does it when u shut it off and it does it w/ the engine off and in the key in the acc possition?

yeah....and every once in a while it will do it when i use the keyfob to lock/unlock the door!

 

Now that's just wierd! try and get a sound clip of that!

 

the keyfob i'd say maybe happens once every week or two. but it happens. all the purges sound exactly the same no matter at what point it occurs
