whine sound driver side rear

[MRK25T]

I was fiddling around taking out the stock speakers today and have left no driver side rear speaker but still have the passenger side one in.

Tonight when the speakers + back seat + pacel shelf were out, every time I touched the accelerator I could hear a whine noise not unlike that which happens in some car stereo systems.

The noise continued for ~3 secs after I take my foot off the accelerator and starts again as soon as my foot touches it again.

I haven't noticed this before so have I screwed up taking the stock stereo gear out, or maybe its because nothing is muffling the sound now?

The sound seems to be coming from the driver side rear near where the removed speaker was. I haven't had a good listen because i'm dead tired after being draged to Harry Potter tonight... it moves as slow as a wet week.

u've stuffed the earthing of your deck. ie the negative wire is connected to the car body somehow... if only one speaker is making the sound maybe some of the wire going to this speaker touches the car body??

this happened to me once so i know how annoying it is:(

I dont think it has anything to do with the speakers because the noise isn't coming out of any speaker. The noise is there when the headunit is off. All i've done to the rear speakers is take one of them out.

Knowing nothing about cars, could it be anything to do with fuel since is only occurs when I put my foot down on the accelerator.

I've had whines cause by car stereo before in my old car and i'm quite positive the speakers have nothing to do with it. The whine through the speakers came through the speakers and its intensity was dictated by how much I reved the engine. This noise doesn't fluctuate, it has a constant pitch and sound level.

any ideas?

I noticed EXACTLY the same thing the other day when I pulled out my rear seat.

It definitely is not stereo related cause i had none in at the time!!

It's only a faint whine.

I thought it may be something related to the cat or exhaust because it only happened when I'd give her some juice, but I really don't know.

Am interested to find out...

FUEL PUMP???

Thats what I was thinking but I don't know much about cars. Should it be making that noise or is it a sign that it's on its way out?

dont worry my car does that.. when i had the rear seats out, and even now with just the rear parcel shelf out (quieter but can still hear it)... it is your fuel pump... its normal, just that the sound is coming through
