Squealing noise up front after engine turns off

imitchellg5 · Jul 16, 2011

So today I turned my Accord off and a few seconds later I started hearing this intense squealing sound up front. I almost thought there was an animal or something stuck underneath the car, but there isn't. Upon getting home, I popped the hood and it seems to be coming from the bottom left corner of the engine bay. All fluids are normal, etc. Any thoughts on what this could be? Thanks in advance.

Possibly another car driving by at the exact moment when you turned your ignition off? Not poking fun, it happens.

You guys have something that releases pressure when the car is turned off/being turned off???

My only sound close to a squeal of any sort comes from the intake filter(only heard if the hood is up usually) but that is about it.

OP does this squeal happen everytime?

The EVAP release system works 24/7/365/forever running or not.

OP I'm not sure what the noise is, I doubt it is the EVAP since the noise is coming form the front of the car. It's a long shot, but I had a very disturbing squealing noise coming from the engine when there was a blockage in my PCV system.

Yes, it seems to be happening every time the car is off. I'll try to take a video tonight.

could be the PCV. when was the last time you changed it? if its been a while just change that. they're only a couple bucks and your supposed to change them out every once in a while anyway. other then that I have no ****ing idea what that could be....
