Is your car stock, at what rpm range does it occur? Mine does the same thing when bogged down around 1500-1800K but its just vibrations from loud *** exhaust.

well maybe it is a humming sound i just described it as a zzzz sound because thats how i described it but it could be described as a humming sound also. is that normal because it doesnt make that sound for long just like a second or two.

so you 'go to get on it', do you mean like before you get on it, when you are just thinking about it?

I know when I DO get on it, I can't hear anything but the scream of the exhuast, and that is no humm or zzzzz sound.
