    I have a 1996 2.7 tacoma 4wd. In every gear when I get to high rpms it would start making like a shhhhhhh sound but with a whistle. Mabye an exhaust leak but the wiredest thing. I filled my tank up and I tried to intentionally do it but the noise went away... lol any idea?

    It disappeared for a couple months came back. I replaced the fan clutch and that was definitely the problem
