1.6 Valvematic grinding sound

[Caprine]

Hi Guys,

I have just bougth a 2017 Toyota Corolla with 1.6 Valvematic engine 55k mi.

When I intensivly accelerating between 2000-3000 rpm (gears 2-3-4-5-6) I hear some strange noise coming from the engine. When it is over 3000rpm the noise disapearing. The noise is like what you hear on the plane when it is ascending. It is like grinding. I was at the Toyota dealer, they checked, and told me the noise is caused by airfilter house. They also said it is fixed but the truth is I still hear this noise. You might experienced similar noise.

Do you have any idea/eperience?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, 

to find help how to diagnose any noises best to share a video so members can hear it, see it and comment. If you can do so, you can search YouTube for already recorded videos of the noise and share with us, read the comments there. Usually if the problem is a widespread it will be likely been made some videos. 
Good luck
