I'm curious, can you describe what a dead turbocharger sounds like? I've heard some strange noises coming from my car's engine lately, and I'm wondering if it could be related to the turbo. Is it a high-pitched whine, a deep rattling, or some other type of sound? I'm trying to diagnose the issue before taking it to a mechanic, so any details you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm especially interested in knowing if there are any characteristic sounds that are typically associated with a failed turbocharger.

If you encounter unusual sounds emanating from your turbocharger, it could be a sign of impending failure.

Whining noises often indicate a problem on the compressor side of the turbo.

This whining sound is typically caused by a shaft that is out of balance or has excessive play.

Turbochargers operate with extreme precision, and even a minor amount of shaft movement can have serious consequences.

A shaft play exceeding 1 mm can lead to catastrophic failure of the turbocharger.
