Odd whine under high torque

My boxster, aside from the other issues I have posted, is making an inconsistent whine under torque. Like in my previous post, I captured it on video and uploaded to YouTube for sharing but this site automods it out of existence. So, the whine is like ahhhwhhwhhwhwhwhwh ka ka ka whahahah ka kak then it goes to a normal porsche revving sound. Once I figure out how to share a link you will have a better idea of what it sounds like and perhaps helped me source the cause?

Thank you!

ahhhwhhwhhwhwhwhwh ka ka ka whahahah ka kak

That's the exact sound I make when I poop. So... spell out, literally, in words... the link to the vid (we'll figure it out) to get past the mod(s) (laughable. mods, lol).



Edit: Just wanna give you credit for spelling out the sound.

Yea, I kept getting the link sent to mod review and became frustrated enough to give spelling the sound out a go

I have attached a text file with the link to a recording of this sound

The only think that I could think of making a winning noise under load, is the differential bearing..
and replacing that bearing would involve to remove the transmission and ship it to CMS in Lake Havasu..

The only thing I could come up with reading the description of the sound is the intro to Down with the Sickness by Disturbed. Sorry I couldn't help more than that.

LOL, that was one of my thoughts while posting. The txt file I attached to a previous post had a youtube link to the sound. I hope it isn't the bearing Gilles mentioned

Champ, you're lucky it doesn't sound like "whoop whoop whoop bzzzzt click click click schmekka schmekka BANG!" Then you'd have a real problem on your hands. No need to thank me.

sounds like the resonance flapper fluttering as it tries to engage. potentially gummed up with oil if associated with the other issue you are having.

Thank you, I went and browsed the web, uncovering this conversation and think it may lead to a solution - https://rennlist.com/forums/964-forum/789302-resonance-flap-binding-please-check-yours.html
