I'm interpreting your post as asking whether this is common. I'm an individual person, not a statistics report, but I've found and fixed probably six or seven different individual noises in the two and a half years I've owned my Model Y. Some I just ignore/don't fix because they only occur on...

What a joke. People like this need to get a real job. Google won't do anything about it so yeah, someone at Tesla needs to see it.

People here recommend against it because the motor was straining to open the hatch afterward. I had the same experience. Motor didn't actually fail but that doesn't mean it's not going to fail in a year. Applying sound deadening to the hatch also doesn't solve booming so there's no point in...

Does it stop if you lower the window even slightly? If so then it's like what I had. Bad news is I had to take the door panel off. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/fixed-passenger-door-rattle.213969/#post-5986211...

Wonder who made the decision to make those parts standard in China but not the rest of the world.

Unfortunately I don't know the size of the tool. I used this video as a guide: These videos also look good: I'm not 100% sure this is the lube I used, but it's something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BXKZUG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Probably any...

I had this too. I took the door trim off and applied silicone lubricant to the circular joints and that fixed it. Reference: Fixed Passenger Door Rattle

That's cute. I would try applying lubricant, though I would want to google the correct type first.

Pic is a 404. Mine has almost no play and I don't even have to secure it with the screws.

The road surface is the missing variable for people wondering why stabilizing the hatch doesn't eliminate their booming. I have two naughty roads within three miles of my house. Stabilizing my hatch by inserting vinyl tubing almost totally killed booming on one of the roads and did nothing for...

It is also getting warmer in the northern hemisphere which causes many materials to expand which will tighten up the body leaving less room for vibration. Speaking from personal experience, it makes a difference. I thought I had the situation under control until the next winter came.

Be sure to let us know if you figure out what it is.

I'm pretty sure this is a race condition in the Tesla software. In other words, one part of the software goes to play the song while another part goes to retrieve the album art. If the part that starts playing the song is faster than the part that retrieves the album art, then you get no album...

Yeah, this reminds me. I was out of state driving my mom somewhere in my MYLR and I was bitching about the BOOM BOOM every time the tires went over the huge concrete seams in the road. She said "if you hadn't mentioned that, I never would have noticed it!" Oops!

In my experience the strength of the booming depends mostly on the road surface. "Textured pavement" is the worst. This is important because if you aren't doing your test drives by your place of residence and then, when your car arrives, you hear booming, you may think that the problem is...

Why not both? Teslas have a lot of problems AND it only takes one moron oil company executive to pay a troll farm for negative astroturfing/FUD.

I believe that is the foam on the inside of the trim panel. Pic of my panel below. Edit: this is the passenger side panel but my driver side panel has white foam like this too.

Around here, this problem is called "booming." There is a lot of info about mitigations in the unfortunately-named ear pain/pressure thread.

It's possible that your vehicle is missing insulation over the rear wheel wells like mine was. There are a lot of posts in this thread about installing roll-on butyl and foam in that area.

I also think I would prefer #1. Reason is, some people think a misaligned hatch causes booming (due to the hatch moving when driving over uneven surfaces). And there's no way to fix it except to align the hatch, which is apparently difficult to do yourself. Knowing this, under no circumstances...

I think it depends on your SC. Only real way to know is to give them a try.

I agree. We all need to support education/training. It will take the edge off the pain of this transition and it needs to start right now. I wouldn't count on the government coming to save people when the time comes. Though we did get a new bill passed recently that should help some. My concern...

The best way is to try to reproduce the sound while you are not driving. Sit inside the trunk and press or hit on the hatch trying to make it move. You can also use a "tone generator" app on your phone (search for it) to play a bass (50 hz or 60 hz) tone loudly through the speakers. That will...

It's going to be a hard transition for a lot of people. I know, right now it's like, "Wyoming? Who cares about them?" But it's going to hurt people everywhere. I'm particularly worried about the price of gas when it's no longer economical to run refineries all the time. It's already no longer...

Buffeting means the cabin is not sealed. Usually the problem is the hatch seal, and hatch movement might cause the seal to open and close rapidly. Booming comes from all over. Personally, I agree that the worst of it is from the rear wheel wells. But a lot of people blame hatch movement. I...

"Model Y Shelf" did not reduce booming for me.

Another thing to check is the headrest. You can use a paperclip to loosen it, then remove it entirely to test. I was mostly able to silence them by jamming them all the way down (below the bottommost locking position).

Wild. At first it sounds like a electronic beep, but the length isn't consistent. So that makes me think of the brakes or another mechanical source.

Check headrests. Can temporarily remove them to check. Have to use a paperclip. Pushing them down all the way (below what's supposed to be their lowest position) helps. Sometimes the metal locking clamps between the seats rattle. Can put the seats down, one at a time, to check.

Not a sound I'm familiar with. It sounds open air (not coming from inside something) which is weird. But that could be an illusion. I assume you've already secured the seat belt buckles and emptied everything out of all the center console compartments as well as the glove box. One thing to...

I'd say it depends on how much you like the car outside of the booming. If you like it a lot, watch ilovecoffee's video and implement fixes. If you're still unhappy after that, then get rid of it. The key is decisive action one way or the other. If you waffle, you will wallow in it.

Attaching picture. While the door is closed, from inside the car, try jamming your fingers in under the plastic on the door side and pushing up. That stops it for me for a while. Like I said I also added felt tape on both the door side and the car side but I guess I need to add more because that...

It's not completely gone. Most of the time it doesn't bother me anymore. But on textured pavement or big bumps, I still notice it. I didn't put butyl under the existing sound blankets on the wheel wells, which is apparently an important spot. I also suspect that my hatch is slightly out of...

You could definitely describe it more like a squeak. I always struggle with the right descriptions for these noises. The glass roof reflecting sounds all around also makes it hard to figure out where they are coming from. It took me a long time to realize that missing clips back there would...

Did you lose any of the small white plastic clips that go along the full length of tops of the big side panels? In my experience even missing a single one of those clips will result in the panel buzzing especially while turning. And they are maddeningly easy to lose.

Buffeting is the high pitched sound of wind flapping and ear pressure pain, as when you are taking off in an aircraft or diving in a pool. It occurs all the time when the car is in motion at some speed. It is caused by the car's cabin not being sealed. Usually the break in the seal is around the...

What helped the most for me with booming was adding butyl and foam above the wheel wells. Note that buffeting and booming are two different problems that can have two different solutions. I fixed my buffeting right away by adjusting the hatch stops so the hatch sealed correctly.

Pressure and booming are two distinct issues. They can have two distinct causes. I suspect pressure is usually because the car is not sealed around the hatch. Adjusting the stops can help with that. Booming may be coming from the hatch, so adjusting the stops can also help with that problem. But...

I can't isolate the sound from the video but my passenger's side rear door trim makes a plastic squeaking or creaking noise. The problem is pathological with the entire side of the car not fitting together well (compared with the driver's side). I can stop it from making noises temporarily by...

For me it's totally unrelated. I started backing in years before I got my Model Y. Got tired of trying to avoid the assholes parked across from my driveway as I backed out. So maybe it's just that Tesla owners are more likely to be older/more experienced drivers.

Oh it definitely happens in untinted cars.

Wish I'd done it. Getting the bug crap off the front after I road trip is a pain in the ass.

Sorry, but that's a new one for me. It reminds me of when one of my bike fenders is out of alignment and rubbing on the tire or something is stuck in the spokes and rubbing on the fender.

Tesla quality control has a bad reputation for a reason. When I bought my Model Y, I knew there was probably going to be something I'd have to address. I just didn't know what. So I went in with that mindset. There are also advantages to buying a Tesla, like the supercharger network and not...

I had the driver's window close abort thing a few times after I got my Model Y in February of 2021. I tried calibrating the window (you hold the button down or something, can't remember now, but it'll be in the manual). Not sure if that did anything, but I don't remember it doing it again. I...

It takes time adjust the hatch stops. You can't just eyeball it. I think about this too. Maybe if people like you and me stopped buying the cars they would invest the time to get it right.

Maybe some people don't understand how the hatch stops work. I personally didn't understand for over a year. The inner hatch stops (maybe the outer ones too, can't remember now) are two interlocking pieces that both rotate. You're supposed to screw the outer part up until it's in contact with...

You would need to do a test drive on the same roads you're planning on driving your car on. Textured pavement is the worst. Some of it is also expectations. If you are coming from a small car, the sound of a larger/heavier vehicle like the Model Y may surprise you. And finally, some lucky...
