Default vibration sound at 6,200 RPMs or so...

Everytime I hit VTEC I hear this vibration sound for a second or two. It sounds like my passenger door trimming is loose but I have checked it 5 or more times and it is not that. I think it could be something to do with the heat shield around the car becasue sometimes when the car has jsut warmed up it does not make this noise. Let me know if you got any ideas... Thanks. Oh if it helps I have a K&N intake and an RSR Exhause kit.

Could be your passenger seat belt rattling against the door. Mine does that sometimes. Try buckling your passenger seat belt and see if you can hear it. I leave mine buckled pretty much whenever someone isnt in the seat, because the rattle drives me crazy. I have noticed that it happens mostly when the seat is slid all the way back.

It's your vehicle breaking the warp barrier.

guaranteed i have the sound sound - it came on board after the K&N Intake - during VTEC only - something about the resonance of the K&N changed the succeptability to something in the passenger door rattling....I believe it's inside the door - almost sound like the window but happens whether up or down... I haven't taken the door apart (yet) to determine cause/source but I kno0w for sure i have the same vibration/rattle you refer to...for me this is one of 2 or 3 sounds/buzzes/rattles the car gives out under different circumstances that I'm almost OK to live with...

let me know if you find the source...

I'll let you know if installing the test pipe does anything to the sound. Thanks for the help and it's nice to see I am not the only one with this problem.
