I used to resolve NVH issues as a former exhaust system engineer. After seeing a few of the videos with the Diablo, I'm convinced the issue is a mechanical resonance issue and not acoustic. I doubt microphones will be able to locate the problem. You will need to place some accelerometers in the suspect areas and feed those inputs into some kind of data collector to find what area/component is resonating. Perhaps the cheap way to work this process is try putting some weights in the suspect areas to see if it changes as mass will affect the resonant frequency. So give up on the microphones, they won't help!
The Diablo noise is the air bypass release if it's coming from the passenger engine area. There's also an air balance system that connects both throttle bodies.
In terms of microphones an Omni-mic isn’t going to be able to directly locate any sort of sound. These mics in particular are of very low quality and I’m sure the accompanying calibration file isn’t that great either. While I’m very much an amateur car enthusiast I am a professional home cinema installer and calibrator. That being said using those styles of microphones to pinpoint sound pressure level output isn’t that feasible unless you can specify the frequency range you’re searching for as those omnidirectional microphones will pick up all sound in the relative area of their placement. For reference we use $3500 microphones to measure speaker and subwoofer performance in a semi anechoic manner and even at that price range they’re considered mid range.
@@georgeanddaddecker7563 Yes (weird, huh). Placing "mass dampers" on some suspension and drivetrain components is pretty common, too. I wonder if the Diablo is experiencing some engine mount resonance that's being transmitted to the frame/body.
Does the Diablo have an oil thermostat? 94-98 volvo 5 cyl turbo engines make a very very similar moaning noise like your diablo when the oil thermostat fails. Might be worth a mention to the Wizard.
I was thinking it sounded like an oil pressure relief valve making noise as the spring bounced the valve... An oil thermostat would be the same sort of sound... It really sounds like a typical noisy regulator noise of some sort to me!
I work in Automotive NVH, so here's something to consider about the Lambo noise: I see some people mentioning oil thermostats and fuel pumps, which absolutely could make a noise like this. What might make it WAY more audible from inside the vehicle cabin is if the vibration is on one of those lines that's touching the body of the vehicle @9:50. It can wind up turning that body panel into a 'speaker' for the noise. (think about how much more noise your phone makes when vibrating on a table vs holding in your hand) This would make the noise clear as day INSIDE the cabin, but might be very difficult to hear from the engine bay. If possible, it might be a good diagnostic step to try and prevent each of those lines from making contact with the body, or at least grabbing each one firmly by hand to try and damp the vibration/narrow things down.
It wouldn't make sense that it takes a while before the noise appears though. Sure some lines will get warm, but not hot enough to only expand by that point.
Interesting theory you have there, this would indeed causes a similar noise however as this is happening at a certain rpm even when this car is stationary this seems unlikely. If I had to make a guess I would say something on the intake side of things is not aligned quite correctly and at a certain pressure is acting as a reed. Failing this potentially the return line to the fuel tank is vibrating at a certain flow rate (think like pipe knock on badly fitted central heating)… A potential diagnosis step may be to check roughly what rpm this happens at and then guesstimate the frequency of the sound… if it happens at 3000rpm and it’s a 3000hz drone it’s something rotating.. but overall just let em get on with it, they have more experience than we do with this machine (I’m not just an armchair mechanic, I work for chevron in the uk and work rebuilding b8 and b17 engines)
@@cunningstunt9226 It just might be the cause, lately been seeing more people think that its the cause, but in the video he said it happens at idle but he had to get it warm before it started, so maybe it only happens at idle when its warm since the drive was a cold start

Hey, Long shot because its wildly different but I had my hemi replaced in my truck and got a drone and it took hundreds of hours and several different shops but it turned out to be a pad between the intake manifold and the engine valley that was missing and that pad dampened the engine harmonics and stopped them from resonating in the intake manifold maybe your problem is as simple as a missing sound deadening pad or a missing heat shield. Worth a look
That pad is commonly removed due to a water saturation issue that becomes catastrophic failure after the intake manifold leaks. I've seen a few 5.7 hemis hydrolock because of it. It usually presents itself as a hole in the block on the passenger side.
14:53 some convertible tops DO have glass rear windows; it’s just cheaper for GAHH to just have one box for their tops, and technically you are correct that boxes with that message are handled with a little more care.

He got rid of it and bought a 1996 Porsche 993. Twenty six years later, the 993 is still on the road, no CEL, no rust, no oil leaks and looks gorgeous.

Great idea with the mics but would it not have been better to watch a plot of frequency spectrum? This sounds like a resonate pitch at a specific frequency. In other words, something is resonating independent of RPM once temperature comes up and vibrations induce a resonate pitch. You would see a spike at say 400 Hz and one would have the biggest spike at the same spot.
@@muskokamike127 The pitch tells you if you are looking at the problem or just the biggest noise maker. The way they describe it is always the same pitch sound regardless of rmp, gear, speed etc.
I agree. Going by loudness only is useless as the engine is loud so how would you differentiate between the loud frequencies without an O-Scope ? A VU meter just displays loudness. I also would have expected the mechanics scope done long ago when they figured out it makes the noise at rest when heated up. No need to drive to isolate the noise itself.

Hey Hoovie, just ran a VIN check on your 458, it has an open recall as of March 22 for the Oil brake reservoir, you wouldn't want it.... burning down, would you?
That recall has nothing to do with a fire though, its for a potential brake fluid leak in the reservoir. Means he'll randomly lose breaks. Far more dangerous then it catching on fire though, because you can at least stop and get out if it does. Can't stop too well without brake fluid though.

LMAO..."you're just gonna 'Will Smith it'"? Love the reference to smacking Chris Rock in relation to straightening the transmission support bar. LOL. Priceless!!
Let me know if this has been suggested before!!**** I am sure you have heard it all by now…. BUT!!! Check the PCV system. This sounds like air being pushed/sucked through a restrictive orifice. If your creating vacuum in the crankcase sucking air past a seal can make a noise very similar to this.
Yep, that'd be my guess. Had a BMW do something similar when a bad PCV created internal suction. Similar moaning noise as air sucked past rear main seal.
that frame can be fabricated or one similar that is stronger and fits can be made either using bolts or welded like the stock one. I think guys that weld radiators can weld the parts and sheet metal can be laser cut pretty cheap. It would cost like $300 for the laser cuts parts

That's why I pass on potential Wheeler Dealer cars that have been in accidents - they may look fine on the outside, but you never know what's lurking underneath. Generally nothing but headaches. And when in doubt, ALWAYS use the BFH.
Yeah, exactly what I thought. With a hammer you're more likely to create crush points at the impact site on an aluminium bar, as well as increasing the chance of shattering an Italian-grade piece of cast Alu. Press + spreader block would be my route of attack. Doesn't look as good in a thumbnail I guess.
11:20 Hydraulic press while heating the Aluminium would be a MUCH better method, especially as its a HOLLOW rectangular part - until the new part shows up
Look forward to hearing your Diablo with the Capristo. I just bought a Porsche 987.2 Cayman S that already had a full Capristo headers and valved exhaust. Love it.
Have you checked the engine mounts on the Diablo? That resonance sounds familiar. It would do it mostly at idle then find a specific rpm at which the resonance would be most notable.
From my old memory , in the 70s Peugeot (504) rally team used to use a hydraulic press to bend the rear cross member with a weight of about 500kg to get negative camber on the rear end.
Having once looked into replacing the top on a much less valuable convertible, I presume the company that made the Ferrari's replacement top is named for the sound one makes when seeing how much their products cost.
1976 and 77 Chargers with the 400 ci lean burn engine sometimes had an exhaust resonance noise. The factory approved correction consisted of a U shaped 6 lb. weight clamped to the right side exhaust pipe near the engine. Worked every time. Why the right rather than the left is beyond me. Chrysler came up with novel approaches to some problems.
My father had a 1983 Honda Civic wagon that after warming up will make a similar noise and it was related to the fuel pump. The car will be normal but after some, it will start doing the same noise. I think you have two fuel pumps on the Lambo. That is my guess. Love the channel keep it up and check mine when you can Daily Drivers Inc.
We used to use the old style single post car lifts as a press ,to bend things like that straight. You could be very precise modulating the air lever on those.
I laughed so hard when wizard hit the crossbar with sledge hammer like nothing else happen 🤣 so that's perfect solution when you don't have the part hahaha.
Nice to see a Ford Sierra XR4i in red in the back ground next to the Datsun. Never knew they were sold in the US? I guess they are not called a Sierra as they are here in the UK but still surprised to see one over there!
I almost feel like it would have been better to just fine someone with a metal shop that could cut out and weld together a new cross bar to be installed rather than bending and risking it being potentially structurally compromised. Maybe I've just been watching too much Superfast Matt.
They should have heated the bend and used a 2x4 as a lever to gently pressure the bend out, mount it hot so that it cools and tightness in place. No issues. Hammering it cold, very stupid.
I wonder what that cross member would cost at exotic auto recycling, or if they even have one. I’d be a little worried about how much that cross member actually supports, but I’d guess at least Daniel would have a decent bit of working knowledge as to that aspect. Glad to hear your doing the annual service and under tray. And as I said in the previous video I’d familiarize yourself with the tech service bulletin regarding the unresolved brake issue with the 458 and the factory recommended procedure for using the parking brake in the event they system does fail. Dan over at normal guy supercar did a video on this issue. Just an informational note due to a disagreement a commenter had with me in the last video, just because the rotors, pads and calipers have been swapped the brake system is still Ferrari, runs on the brake system pcm and other brake components. The issue is with a Bosch part that fails and there is no repair at this time. Not being prepared can result in serious injury and loss of life.
7:16 I had a problem like this, it was the tire tread on my new tires, the sound tricked my mind to think it was a mechanical problem but at a certain speed the same sound would re-appear. certain / different road surfaces the sound would go away.
no idea if you already checked this but Fords can make a similar noise when the idle air control valve goes bad although i dont remember if it made a noise at idle or higher in the rpm range
A Fast Fourier Transform would absolutely be the best to look at the Lambo's noise in my opinion. You even have a reference, because the moan only occurs when the engine has warmed up. So, you can look at the frequency spectrum of the engine without the moan and then with the moan and compare it. The microphone that shows the highest amplitude at the frequency where the moan occurs lies closest to the source. Then, you can zoom in on that area and do the test again to get even closer to the source.
If these microphones can filter out frequencies other than the frequency of your noise, that would help a lot. As funny as it might seem, you need to eliminate as much noise as possible to find the right kind of noise
CHECK FOR A PIN SIZED HOLE IN THE CUMBUSTION CHAMBER!!!!!!! I read a comment from a guy that said he was a lambo tech in California and he said that this was a common problem in the diablos.
That howl at specific RPM's usually denotes a rotating assembly not airflow. Most of the time its an issue with the transmission. I'm no pro but Ive had that problem. If it sounds like a supercharger and you don't have one.... well... transmission.
I'm sure the Wizard has already thought about this but I'd be asking myself whether the Diablo noise is related to engine speed, road speed, gear selection or none of the above. I think you said it whines when parked so that SHOULD eliminate everything related to the drive-train and air-flow, which just leaves the engine and ancillaries. After the hassle you had with the Murci', I wonder about, perhaps, a pulley or belt that's vibrating at certain RPM. Maybe it'd be possible to adjust some of the auxillary belts and see if it has an effect on the whine?
I hate to say it but maybe it is something with the transmission. Maybe something with the pilot bearing. That's all that's really back there that spins when idling. ⚠️ Hoovie try this : Get the noise going, press in the clutch, shift to neutral, let the clutch out (with the car still rolling), then pressing the clutch again.
One thing that may help you a lot is to find some sort of program that can do a Fourier Transform on the audio signal, likely an FFT. You'd be looking for what frequency component spikes when your noise hits. Once you identify the frequency, you may be able to find something that band pass filters the audio at that frequency. What that would mean is the dominant contributor to volume in your mics would be that noise. It should be way way easier to narrow it down, blocking out most of the regular noise. I can answer more questions if you have them. Do some googling first on some of the terms.
I had a car with a Bosch fuel pump and it sounded exactly the same and it made the noise resonate and sound like it was in the door, might be worth a look 👌 p.s. it only happened when the pump warmed up, took ages to find out what it was.

The best part about these videos is when Tyler acts like a goofball around magic mike and wizard . They don’t have the same sense of humor and you can just see them rolling their eyes ! The best !!
"will smith it" Love it!!
LMAO..."you're just gonna 'Will Smith it'"? Love the reference to smacking Chris Rock in relation to straightening the transmission support bar. LOL. Priceless!!
A new expression!
Let me know if this has been suggested before!!**** I am sure you have heard it all by now…. BUT!!! Check the PCV system. This sounds like air being pushed/sucked through a restrictive orifice. If your creating vacuum in the crankcase sucking air past a seal can make a noise very similar to this.
Yep, that'd be my guess. Had a BMW do something similar when a bad PCV created internal suction. Similar moaning noise as air sucked past rear main seal.
that frame can be fabricated or one similar that is stronger and fits can be made either using bolts or welded like the stock one. I think guys that weld radiators can weld the parts and sheet metal can be laser cut pretty cheap. It would cost like $300 for the laser cuts parts
Gotta love how when the Ninja asked if he could take it for a spin he immediately said 'Of course'.
Mate you notice the Cosworth in the background!?
@@psychotictactoe I didn't! I have noticed the Wizard has an Alfa 164 in the shop though!
OMG... My very first car I bought when I was 16 yrs is sitting in the back of the Garage. I still love this car... that Merkur Xr4Ti ..love, love, love it. Wizard... please show it on your channel.
I had a XR4I in 1984. Great car. Lots of space in the backseat , haha.
I love when Wizard horses around and laughs. Just the best!
He ran away from Hoovie’s clamps right quick! 😂
Is that a Ford XR4i in the workshop? 80’s Fords we’re a thing of beauty.
XR4 or Cosworth?
Look at that Shiney Meekur Xr4ti in the ground. I miss mine so much, such a fun cat
Not to take away from the 458 or the Diablo but is that a Merkur xr4ti or a Ford sierra behind the Diablo?
Sounded a bit like a fuel pimp or scavenge pump.
Try adding a Teflon based oil additive and a slightly thicker oil to rule out the engine
We need to know about the red Ford Sierra in the background of the workshop!
Is it an XR4i?
Seller: It was crashed into a ditch
The Grand Canyon: Hey, I recognize that Ferrari!
That's why I pass on potential Wheeler Dealer cars that have been in accidents - they may look fine on the outside, but you never know what's lurking underneath. Generally nothing but headaches.
And when in doubt, ALWAYS use the BFH.
Wouldn't a press give you a bit more control over the bending process?
Its a joke
Yeah, exactly what I thought. With a hammer you're more likely to create crush points at the impact site on an aluminium bar, as well as increasing the chance of shattering an Italian-grade piece of cast Alu.
Press + spreader block would be my route of attack. Doesn't look as good in a thumbnail I guess.
@@CarWizard you're not funny though
TH-cam is not real my friend it's for the lols
11:20 Hydraulic press while heating the Aluminium would be a MUCH better method, especially as its a HOLLOW rectangular part - until the new part shows up
Look forward to hearing your Diablo with the Capristo. I just bought a Porsche 987.2 Cayman S that already had a full Capristo headers and valved exhaust. Love it.
Have you checked the engine mounts on the Diablo? That resonance sounds familiar. It would do it mostly at idle then find a specific rpm at which the resonance would be most notable.
From my old memory , in the 70s Peugeot (504) rally team used to use a hydraulic press to bend the rear cross member with a weight of about 500kg to get negative camber on the rear end.
Having once looked into replacing the top on a much less valuable convertible, I presume the company that made the Ferrari's replacement top is named for the sound one makes when seeing how much their products cost.
1976 and 77 Chargers with the 400 ci lean burn engine sometimes had an exhaust resonance noise. The factory approved correction consisted of a U shaped 6 lb. weight clamped to the right side exhaust pipe near the engine. Worked every time. Why the right rather than the left is beyond me. Chrysler came up with novel approaches to some problems.
My father had a 1983 Honda Civic wagon that after warming up will make a similar noise and it was related to the fuel pump. The car will be normal but after some, it will start doing the same noise. I think you have two fuel pumps on the Lambo. That is my guess. Love the channel keep it up and check mine when you can Daily Drivers Inc.
We used to use the old style single post car lifts as a press ,to bend things like that straight. You could be very precise modulating the air lever on those.
Wow thats a clean XR4TI, my dad had one deff a different car.
Glad you are putting the due diligence into getting this girl taken care of. Great Hooptie find, and deserves to get brought back as best as you can.
Yeah Ferraris and Lambos are cool, but can we get more on what's going on with that Merkur XR4Ti in the background??
It’s on wizards channel
Called Sierra's in Europe, extremly fast sports saloon with race n rally history
I laughed so hard when wizard hit the crossbar with sledge hammer like nothing else happen 🤣 so that's perfect solution when you don't have the part hahaha.
What happens if you throw it into neutral at that speed and hold rpm
Nice to see a Ford Sierra XR4i in red in the back ground next to the Datsun. Never knew they were sold in the US? I guess they are not called a Sierra as they are here in the UK but still surprised to see one over there!
Wizard reviewed it on his channel.
I almost feel like it would have been better to just fine someone with a metal shop that could cut out and weld together a new cross bar to be installed rather than bending and risking it being potentially structurally compromised. Maybe I've just been watching too much Superfast Matt.
I was thinking the same
They should have heated the bend and used a 2x4 as a lever to gently pressure the bend out, mount it hot so that it cools and tightness in place. No issues. Hammering it cold, very stupid.
He should take it to Puddin's Fab Shop. Guy could do it in a day and make a video out of it.
Loving the FORD SIERRA XR4i in the background... more content on that please !
Taking a hammer to fix a Ferrari.
Jeremy Clarkson would be so proud 😂
All the best to everyone
Not if it was his car
Cletus McFarland too
"will smith it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder what that cross member would cost at exotic auto recycling, or if they even have one. I’d be a little worried about how much that cross member actually supports, but I’d guess at least Daniel would have a decent bit of working knowledge as to that aspect.
Glad to hear your doing the annual service and under tray. And as I said in the previous video I’d familiarize yourself with the tech service bulletin regarding the unresolved brake issue with the 458 and the factory recommended procedure for using the parking brake in the event they system does fail. Dan over at normal guy supercar did a video on this issue.
Just an informational note due to a disagreement a commenter had with me in the last video, just because the rotors, pads and calipers have been swapped the brake system is still Ferrari, runs on the brake system pcm and other brake components. The issue is with a Bosch part that fails and there is no repair at this time. Not being prepared can result in serious injury and loss of life.
Hoovie: "I think you need to put your hips into it."
Wizard: "I don't wanna go too far."
7:16 I had a problem like this, it was the tire tread on my new tires, the sound tricked my mind to think it was a mechanical problem but at a certain speed the same sound would re-appear. certain / different road surfaces the sound would go away.
Look at that stunning Sierra Cosworth 😍🥵
I like that “merkur XR4Ti” I had one in 87. Great car. 🚘🏁🚘
You guys are making me very nervous smashing a large piece of metal 2 feet from the bodywork of a Ferrari, you're crazy haha.
Did he say 'exotic Fiat'? 😆😆😆Brilliant Hoovie.
Hoovie buying a decent car? That's impossible!
no idea if you already checked this but Fords can make a similar noise when the idle air control valve goes bad
although i dont remember if it made a noise at idle or higher in the rpm range
Is Tyler a Ferrari man or a Porsche man? The answer: he's a hoopie man
Or a Lamborghini man
*Hooptie
A Fast Fourier Transform would absolutely be the best to look at the Lambo's noise in my opinion. You even have a reference, because the moan only occurs when the engine has warmed up. So, you can look at the frequency spectrum of the engine without the moan and then with the moan and compare it. The microphone that shows the highest amplitude at the frequency where the moan occurs lies closest to the source. Then, you can zoom in on that area and do the test again to get even closer to the source.
Wizard should have just put that crossmember on a press, and press it back flat.
I love the word (and you have to say it in the voice of Jeff Goldblum..) DeeHablo
If these microphones can filter out frequencies other than the frequency of your noise, that would help a lot. As funny as it might seem, you need to eliminate as much noise as possible to find the right kind of noise
@julian blake Pretty much, I just couldn't find the right words for that. Thanks
Lot of neat cars at The Wizard's. Should probably check out his channel.
I wondered when I'd see the Wizard fixing something with the BFH.
Btw what's a bfh
@@lilorbielilorbie2496 Yes sir,when all else fails bring out the BFH.
CHECK FOR A PIN SIZED HOLE IN THE CUMBUSTION CHAMBER!!!!!!! I read a comment from a guy that said he was a lambo tech in California and he said that this was a common problem in the diablos.
LOL, "We're gonna Will Smith it"
Always love seeing car ninja in these
You're well on your way to buying the Wizard another yacht!
14:43 - They must sell tops for cars that have a glass rear window and just use the same box on all to save money.
Please ndi experts speak out. You have weakened the aluminum part. It needs strengthening welds to assure long term efficiency.
No it doesn't.
So.... a shop that works on everything from Ford to Ferrari does not have a simple shop press? Not that a sledge to the floor doesn't work....lol
It’s nice to see, when all else fails, backyard brute force mechanical repairs prevails. The Wiz is the man!😎
What a hack job, the bar should be straightened on a press and the mounting tabs can be put back into position using a portapower.
My favorite thing is when Hoovie taps on a hood of a car. I laugh every time, he’s so excited to possibly buy another car.
With a ring on his finger. Didn't matter this time but he does it to metal roofs too.
I find it rude and annoying.
@@terrylessmann2274 15:28 he always slaps the roof with his right hand and you can see here he doesn't wear a ring on that hand
@@terrylessmann2274 Yeah I'd be careful.
That howl at specific RPM's usually denotes a rotating assembly not airflow. Most of the time its an issue with the transmission. I'm no pro but Ive had that problem. If it sounds like a supercharger and you don't have one.... well... transmission.
The 458 is by far one of the nicest Ferrari’s ever made
Agreed, and the 458 is easily the greatest mid-engine V8 Ferrari of all time.
I'm sure the Wizard has already thought about this but I'd be asking myself whether the Diablo noise is related to engine speed, road speed, gear selection or none of the above.
I think you said it whines when parked so that SHOULD eliminate everything related to the drive-train and air-flow, which just leaves the engine and ancillaries.
After the hassle you had with the Murci', I wonder about, perhaps, a pulley or belt that's vibrating at certain RPM.
Maybe it'd be possible to adjust some of the auxillary belts and see if it has an effect on the whine?
that Ferrari almost sounds like an old F1 car. Excellent
The flat-plane crankshaft gives it that exotic sound
The wizard with a hammer and the ninja with his loving hands with the top!
I hate to say it but maybe it is something with the transmission. Maybe something with the pilot bearing. That's all that's really back there that spins when idling.
⚠️ Hoovie try this : Get the noise going, press in the clutch, shift to neutral, let the clutch out (with the car still rolling), then pressing the clutch again.
One thing that may help you a lot is to find some sort of program that can do a Fourier Transform on the audio signal, likely an FFT.
You'd be looking for what frequency component spikes when your noise hits. Once you identify the frequency, you may be able to find something that band pass filters the audio at that frequency.
What that would mean is the dominant contributor to volume in your mics would be that noise. It should be way way easier to narrow it down, blocking out most of the regular noise.
I can answer more questions if you have them. Do some googling first on some of the terms.
