My 2012 4.7 v6 2 wheel drive makes low pitch howling noise from engine compartment

[William Vonwaldner]

The noise is intermittent and sounds like an air noise in the intake possibly. It seems to only happen on start up every once in a while and goes away after the first ride and shut off. Please help.

Welcome to the forum
Is the truck a 2wd or it makes the noise in 2wd?

My 2015 4X4 V6 double cab also makes this noise on start-up until totally warm. Toyota said this is an air box noise and totally normal. Been like that since new when I purchased it.

You can edit posts, not titles of threads. I always thought that was dumb.
