Guys, dont know if any of you have had this, in the morning, first start of the day, my 996 sounds like it has a supercharger fitted, then as it warms it gets less but I can still hear it. I took it to Tonbridge who had a listen and said it sounded normal, I have a boxster as well ans that does not sounsd like it at all, any ideas?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you are talking about the normal whine sound from the 3.4 then it's fine - most people like the noise. I don't think it should become less or more prominent though.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
