Humming Noise when acceleration

[Ibrahim Hanif]

Hi all sifus & friends,Would like to seek an advice on my e46 with n42 engine. Today it start to came out some sort of humming noise from the engine i guess. It happens when acceleration. The more I rev the more it sounds. When i'm driving with window down, i also can hear the sound from outside. No engine light, temperature also at normal. What are the cause of this humming noise sifus?. Your all kind advice is much appreciated and Thanks in advance.

Salam ibrahim, with my experience with e46 for pass 13 years I personally think it is due to the fan clutch unit

But I think my fan works as usual. Now i keep monitoring it.

The sound looks like when we are climbing uphill. Exactly. As we put more acceleration. When gear have changed, the sound reduced. Is that normal?.

Or is it I have to change the oil and service already and i think i had put stress to the engine.

Any advice?

Errm vr did that. .. just went to mech was told the engine cover no near to the engine may cause the hummering sound so he readjust the cover.
