Since we have an electronic throttle body and the gas pedal is nothing more than a glorified switch, it would make sense that you hear some sort of relay clicking when you play with it.

i find it more of a whine sound, like engine noise in an audio system. I thought it was due to the A/C, as the first time i noticed it, i had the A/C on, but it does it anytime...i just attributed it to the hotwire TB.

never heard a relay click though.

for the record, i still HATE the hotwire TB, i get ZERO feedback from the pedal

Hello,

I have a new Mazda3 5-door SP23 and it has been great so far.

However, I hear something similar to what you mentioned as well, but it sounds more like a high-pitched squeak, or rattle almost like a chirping sound when the accelerator is depressed and running on an slightly rough surface. What I hear doesnt seem to be associated with the pedal movement, but when depressed, it seems to allow the squeak to occur when the conditions are right if that makes sense.

If anyone thinks this is something they have noticed or is normal, please let me know.

Thanks!
