My boxster, aside from the other issues I have posted, is making an inconsistent whine under torque. Like in my previous post, I captured it on video and uploaded to YouTube for sharing but this site automods it out of existence. So, the whine is like ahhhwhhwhhwhwhwhwh ka ka ka whahahah ka kak then it goes to a normal porsche revving sound. Once I figure out how to share a link you will have a better idea of what it sounds like and perhaps helped me source the cause? Thank you!

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.

The link to the whine is here
ahhhwhhwhhwhwhwhwh ka ka ka whahahah ka kak That's the exact sound I make when I poop. So... spell out, literally, in words... the link to the vid (we'll figure it out) to get past the mod(s) (laughable. mods, lol). Edit: Just wanna give you credit for spelling out the sound.

Yea, I kept getting the link sent to mod review and became frustrated enough to give spelling the sound out a go I have attached a text file with the link to a recording of this sound
The only think that I could think of making a winning noise under load, is the differential bearing.. and replacing that bearing would involve to remove the transmission and ship it to CMS in Lake Havasu..
My water pump whined at higher rpms right before it went out.
The only thing I could come up with reading the description of the sound is the intro to Down with the Sickness by Disturbed. Sorry I couldn't help more than that.

LOL, that was one of my thoughts while posting. The txt file I attached to a previous post had a youtube link to the sound. I hope it isn't the bearing Gilles mentioned
Champ, you're lucky it doesn't sound like "whoop whoop whoop bzzzzt click click click schmekka schmekka BANG!" Then you'd have a real problem on your hands. No need to thank me.
sounds like the resonance flapper fluttering as it tries to engage. potentially gummed up with oil if associated with the other issue you are having.
