Probably me being totally paranoid. But I recently had to reset my trigger wheel.
The car now seems do have a high whirring sound. Is this pinging?
I tried to google and you tube around but could not really find an example.

Sounds like ok.
Pinking sounds more metallic. If your really worried, get it on a rolling road.
