After 29.3 update, problem is still here.
Sound seems to be a little bit quieter than before...

Just got 2019.28.3.1! Unfortunately the chirping is around the same for me at highway speeds, though seems slightly diminished between 35-40 (could be placebo though).
One important note: for me the chirping only starts on the highway when the motors have warmed up a bit (5-10mi of driving).

Updated to 2019.32 and it’s still definitely the same. Confirmed the noise with another Tesla tech and it’s “normal”, so might figure out how to block/reduce it separately from them at this point 
After a service center appointment, problem is stil not managed by tesla. Technician transfered case to engineers at factory. No more information...
Hi.
Quick update on this:
I took my car to service last week and they finally agreed to have a look at this along with some other annoyances that I've been reporting since I bought the car last year.
FWIW; a new car shouldn't sound like this and compared to other modern cars, this makes the Model 3 look like a half-assed unfinished product IMO.
If they can't fix it, I'll consider trading it in for a RWD.

I've now owned a few AWD M3's and driven in many others, and it's definitely a "normal" sound. There are slight variations between cars, and some don't exhibit it as much as others, but they're all roughly the same.
I wish it didn't make the noise, but I'm learning to get used to it because the car is otherwise so perfect!
I've also owned a long range RWD Model 3, and definitely advice anyone sensitive to high-pitched noises to go for RWD

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. This makes me feel a lot better. I’ve slowly gotten use to it after 18 months.
