noise

My 2016 Model S was making a noise today while driving. Not real loud, but very noticeable with the car off, both from inside the car and outside. The car has been sitting idle for a couple hours and I powered it down a couple times. I have also ran the a/c through various stages from off to on...

Hello... I have been living with a rattle and squeak in my M3 for almost a year now and Tesla Service has been pointless on tracking this down and fixing it. We did a "ride along" and they were able to verify the sound immediately so they took it for service, twice. Now they tell me that this is...

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any issues that may occur if you try to do this yourself. This is only to show what I was able to do and how I did it. We have had our 2019 MXLR for about 10 months now, and I have been obsessed with trying to cut down wind and road noise ever since we...

I've had my Model Y for 2 weeks. Within a few days of delivery, I started hearing various noises. There is wind noise on the passenger side, like others have mentioned. We also have other noise -- sometimes a rubbing/squeaking that might be coming from the wheels. There is also a banging...

Hello everyone, Sometimes when I turn on the indicators on my Model 3 they go silent. I can still see that they're flashing, but I can't hear the noise that's associated with it! It doesn't happen a lot, but seems to be happening more often, is it something I'm doing? At first, I thought it...

We are close to taking delivery of a new model Y. Tesla is correcting some issues before that happens, but while I was inspecting the vehicle I noticed that the AC system is way louder than my model 3, particularly when the fan is on speed 10. At fan settings 8 (maybe even 9) and below, it seems...

Hi everybody. Hope everybody is safe and sound. I recently picked up a Model Y. Was told that the fit and finish is within spec by the sales associate. What do you guys think? In addition to the fit and finish, the two biggest concerns I have are cabin noise and driving experience. 1. Can hear...

Hey forum, Anyone experiencing an accelerating and decelerating thud noise? It's really apparent when from a stopped position, you press the gas and the car lurches forward. It sounds like something is shifting back and then shifting forward. The sound is coming from the back of the car and I...

Hi All I have window tint put on my M3 side windows and since then I have noticed a strange creaking noise coming from the window when I go over bumps. to me, it seems like the window (with tint film) moves a tiny bit over the rubber seal at the top of the window and makes the creaking noise...

Roger Bohl <[email protected]> 1:01 PM (4 minutes ago) For several weeks, I had been detecting a maddening, tiny "clicking" noise seemingly emanating from somewhere around the passenger seat of our "3". Noticeable when driving slowly, when the car "rolled" a bit -- side-side. I thought it...

After I open or close a car door, there is a repetitive knocking noise that lasts for approximately 1 second. It seems to come from the front of the car, towards the passenger side. It can occur from other events as well (I've noticed it around stops or starts of charging, for example). Anyone...

Hello folks, I own a 2020 3. Apologies in advance if this should be under the Master Thread for 2020 changes. As per title, does anyone know if (and why) Tesla removed the shroud around the AC compressor in the Model 3? I had a look at their parts catalogue, which sometimes gets updated...

Is it just me or has anyone else notice the electric noise when you flatten the throttle has changed since the large update earlier this year? I used to get a high pitched mosquito sound only, now it starts with this and develops into a deeper tone. :D

Just got my car back from the Service Center where they replaced my front USB ports, and now the armrest/center console squeaks when I open it. Rather than a ~1 hour drive back to the Service Center, I thought I would ask if anyone else has had this problem and found a DIY fix for it. Thanks!

Hello, the original 19" Continental ProContact RX tires in my Tesla Model 3 LR RW have more than 34k miles and the thread is about 3.5 mm on the back. I think I need to replace the tires in about half year. Currently I also have 19" Winter Tire and Wheel set from Tesla. So I'm considering the...

I got my Model 3 LR AWD at the end of December. Since picking up the car, I've noticed that the brakes are noisy, emitting a scraping sound. Its mostly noticeable when going slower, like in stop and go traffic. When I brought it up with my Service Advisor, he said its completely normal and all...

This noise sounds like a nut that is loose in the door. I doubt there is a nut that is loose in there, but it's just to explain what it sounds like. I hear a "knock" when I accelerate or decelerate. If I accelerate/brake very slowly, the noise doesn't happen. But if I drive normally, at every...

Hi everyone, I am long time fan and new owner of Model 3 SR+. The car runs well, but it seems the battery coolant pump or some fan in the front is constantly running. It seems to be coming from the center-back of the front hood and can be heard distinctly from the inside or outside of the car...

I have a 2019 Tesla Model X Raven that is making a grinding noise on “harsh” acceleration (3/4 to full). The noise is most evident on “cold starts”. I have had the car in service for this issue and Tesla has replaced the Front Half Shafts, but it has not resolved the issue. Tesla is now telling...

Hi Everyone, I bought a used MS directly from Tesla 3 months ago, I have noticed higher road noise levels inside the car compared to other luxury cars I have owned. I even noticed that when I play music or if I am on a phone call - it is very audible from the outside. I plan on scheduling an...

MAny of you seems to have experience the upsetting noise while supercharging on cold climate or changing altitude. The good news is that Tesla is aware of it, has a service bulletin and a procedure to fix it: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10163736-9999.pdf The not so good news is...

Shortly after adopting my Model 3, I started hearing a squeaking sound. It seemed to be coming from the dash or center console, but I couldn't pin it down or reproduce it on cue. Just whenever driving it would appear for a while and then go away for a while, though it was worse on bumpy roads...

Sorry to create yet another post on tires but I only seem to find threads about US tire models. In the old continent the offer is quite different and I don't seem to find (at least in Belgium, where I live) any trace of all the hyped models like Bridgestone Quiettracks, Primacy MXM4 and Yokohama...

Although I love 99% of everything about my new 2019 Model S Raven, the ever-increasing buzzes, rattles and creaks within the interior of the car are crazy-making -- especially for a car of this price. And since Tesla has somehow deemed that it's not their responsibility to fix these issues...

I took delivery of my Model S Raven on 6/28/19. Along with a dent in the hood, a bumper panel was not attached, a door panel that was not attached, and some of the rear seat panels were not attached – all in all, it seemed like a rush job before the end of the quarter for Tesla. I should’ve...

Like many of you I own and "love" my 2018 Model 3 but I want more cargo space so I have a Y on order. However I have found my M3LR to be quite loud as compared to my 2016 BMW X3 SUV. I drive the same route from Bellingham, WA to the Skagit Regional airport several times a week and with my M3 I...

I bought a pre-owned 2013 Tesla Model S 85 recently. I have noticed that the car makes a thunking sound every 10-15 seconds coming from the Dash area. I have found it to be when the AC is running. While this noise is quiet enough to not be heard when music is playing or while driving, it is just...

yesterday i went into my garage and my model S was off and plugged in on a trip charge. There was a soft wlectricwhining noise I hadn’t heard before. It kind of sounded like the whine you get when the A/C is on all the way but a little different. I took our ICE on the trip, didn’t want to...

I had something weird start with one of the latest software updates, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Whenever the car wakes up from being asleep for more than a couple of hours, I get a noise under the dash that sounds like somebody crinkling a paper bag. It...

Hello everyone. There was a noise start to shows up about half a month ago, it starts from almost nothing but to a little big road noise till now to a bit loud which is very noticeable when on high speed. The loudness of the noise will go up when driving from low speed to high speed, start...

Can someone that test-drove (or maybe owns ? ) both, comment on the difference in comfort and noise levels on the two cars? I understand that Performance has lowered suspension and 20" wheels but how much of a difference does it fell during normal driving? And is there any difference on...

I have had my 18" aero P3- for a week now. The biggest thing I researched prior to buying was about the cabin experience - noise and ride quality etc. especially on motorways/long journeys. I originally ordered the 20" P3+ but after a 10 minute test drive I ultimately decided to change to an...

Just picked up a 2017 Model X overall great condition but there is an odd sound when I start to move from a stop or get close to stopping from a move listen to video. Anyone encounter this, potential fixed, I’m setting up a service appointment but curious if this is common.

Hi, just got my new AWD LR Model 3, I love it but am experiencing a noise when acccelerating in between 25 MPH and 45 MPH. I have attached a recording, it is a high pitched pulsing / whistle sound coming from the front. Is this normal? I know its subtle but I have three days left to return it...

I have a new to me 2016 S75D. It's a lease return purchased directly from Tesla and I love it. One issue I've noticed is that if I take my foot off the gas and let the regenerative braking kick in, there is a brief but obvious klunk from the front left wheel area. Car has a 4 year, 50K full...

Our intent is to downsize to a cottage with a one-car garage and then to purchase and to charge a Tesla Model X in the garage. What noise and heat should be expected while charging? Do we need to make a provision to dissipate the heat from the garage, e.g., a ductless air conditioner? I would...

So a newer Roadster here and I have a question, hopefully you can help me out with. 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport. I have not drove the car alot, But went for a 10 mile drive last night and noticed when I went out to the garage later in the evening it was humming from the PEM box. This morning I...

I have a horrible creaking noise coming from somewhere in the front of my Tesla Model 3P Dual Motor AWD car. The car is 10 months old now... and the creaking noise makes it sound like a 15 year old car. I scheduled a service and got this message: “In regards to your upcoming service request...

I was told by a service center technician that it is normal to feel a slight vibration (enough for me to look out my rear view mirror to see if a person bumped/nudged my car the first time I felt it) and a low clunk noise that goes with it every 18 seconds with the air conditioning setting on...

Have had my M3 since September, so know its sounds well. When got back from vacation July 5 noted a new noise after I get out of the car, mirrors fold, car beeps, a new whirring sound starts up, quite loudly (I've been told it is the A/C compressor), and as it slows down to a stop, it gradually...

It was parked in the sun for a couple of hours. During that time the normal hum (battery cooling?) ran the entire time. The car listed 97 degress when checked via the app. I spot cleaned the windshield and left it. Then I pulled in the car and the wipers kept going then made the following noise.

Hi All, I just received delivery of my Model 3 last week (last week of June 2019) and I had heard about the numerous quality issues with paint, build, etc. After inspecting the car, there were few minor things such as the R tail light looking a bit chipped but otherwise, ok. However, when I...

I’ve noticed lately that I have a vibration from what seems like the air conditioner. The vibration is really only felt when parked with the A/C on. It is best described as the same feeling/sound you get when a large truck passes you and causes a sound/vibration in your car. I believe I...

I just took delivery of my model 3 less than 2 weeks ago, and I just noticed the A/C compressor was making a loud fluttering sound as I was pulling into my garage yesterday. It quite literally sounds like either an industry air compressor kicking on or a lawnmower. To be clear, this isn't like...

My year old Model 3 road noise is great below say 50 mph, not to bad between 50-70 but over 70 mph I feel compelled to not use the vehicle speakers to listen to audio books and instead use my AirPods. The road noise seems way to high.. I would like to see Tesla offer a quiet car package option...

I have a 2016 P90DL. I recently had a new rattle come up that was driving me nuts. It sounded like a piece of plastic vibrating at a high pitch, anything over 60mph would make it consistent, and loud. In my trunk, I found a piece of plastic (not sure what it is for), but taped it over this...

Suspension rattles can have many sources. There are many moving parts that can wear out and cause rattles. It is hard to pinpoint the exact source sometimes because in the cabin they all sound very similar. I had some rattles for a while and spent month trying to get to the bottom of it. This...

I've noticed that when I turn the wheel at low or no speed, as seen/heard in this video, I get a creaking/ticking noise. Sometimes it's just one or two sounds, but usually always when I have to crank the wheel for slow turns or pulling/backing into parking spots. It's normally not as bad as the...

Hey, My model 3 came with a noise from the front panel (somewhere behind the screen), and it looks like to be in the middle of the panel. It’s not on the smartphone holder, or below the steering wheel (I’ve tried applying force on both). I took to service, they were able reproduce it on low...
