Default 2.5 v6 auto

didn't have the radio on today in the car
and heard what I can only say was like a supercharger winding up noise from somewhere .

don't know if it was gear box or engine or could it have been the belts
just thought would put on the forum and see if anybody has had the same sort of sound.

thanks all

I get that same sound on my ZT180 Auto. It comes and goes for me, and is very faint.

most likely the alternator.

Are you sure you haven't slipped the 220 conversion on there?
