    Hi so I’ve had my pista for a month now and noticed that it’s making a high pitched squealing or noise on light cruising and acceleration. It sounds very similar in tone and volume to ccm brake squeal but I’m not pressing the brakes. I hear it from the front end somewhere and it’s super annoying. Any thoughts on what this could be? Normal?

    @Kalie….you should ensure e-brake is not sticking. Does the car slow down like brakes are dragging. When I had my lithium battery issue I had to loosen both eBrake bolts on each side to move the car. Begin by checking the state of your battery and go from there.

    it definitely doesn’t feel like dragging

    it’s this metallic bird chirping jingling sound that Also increases in frequency as speed builds

    My 488 GTB does this and it sounds like it’s from the left front wheel. It’s more noticeable at lower speeds with the window down. Never been able to figure it out, but doesn’t seem to be hurting anything.

    Something that increases as speed builds always makes me think about the tyres rotating faster. Could it be something is rubbing against the ccs on one side? Sounds annoying :(

    My car does this too. Are you driving in race mode? If you are I believe it may have something to do with the computer systems that modulate power/braking. I'm not sure what it's called. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

    Pebble stuck in rotors and/or calipers.

    I've had this with alot of cars. Have someone walk next to your car while driving so you can figure out which corner it's coming from. Then work from there. Put on jack stands and take the wheel off and turn the rotor and listen where the noise is coming from. Could be dirt, rock or sticking caliper.
