At first I thought "that guys fan is coming off...?".
Then I would hear it on other ricer type cars speeding through school zones at 35 mph....
This has got to be the stoooopidest modification in a real long time,

SO what is that new whirrring noise that idiots are putting on their ricer cars lately???

Cheesy imitation supercharger whine???

It's the actual engine whining about how it wanted to be normal, but instead got made into some horrible abomination with subs and amps that are too big to be useful.

I thought that awfull sound was because of the muffler combined with the horrible rasp of a poorly maintained cheap 4 cylinder.

Those muffler things have not shown up in my area, if they do I'm sure the city council will ban them in about 2 weeks.

I honestly don't see the point of these cars, sure they can get 300hp out of some Acura's, but there FWD! The power can't be put down and they drive like crap.
