My V-1 S-trim is a bit noisy... not the whine...

Well it functions perfectly, and whines beautifully. Sometimes however the blower's internal mechanism (whatever it may be) sounds a bit too loud. I wouldn't call it clanging... it's hard to describe. And it only happens at low rpm, like under 1800... Above that it just whistles and wooshes.

I wish I could find the words to describe it. They are gear driven right??? Could it just be the gears making noise? I don't know, I was just hoping somebody that might have heard this might catch on to what I'm trying to say. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Get a sound clip and post it. Yes your blower is gear driven, ans yes it will whine and moan and groan at lower rpms. But if something doesnt sound right I would have a performance shop look at it if you dont know what to listen for.
