High Pitch Whine Under Heavy Acceleration - Refreshed Model X

I took delivery of my 2023 Model X in December. My other car is a 2017 Model S so I'm very familiar with how these cars operate. From day one, I noticed a high pitch whine coming from the front passenger side under moderate to heavy acceleration. It almost sounds like it's coming from the speaker. For you car audio enthusiasts, it sounds very much like alternator whine from poorly grounded amplifiers which cause the whine to play through the speakers. The difference being that the whine in the Model X is a single frequency instead of an ascending/descending one. I'm thinking it's just the front motor whine but it's not this loud in my Model S. Is anyone one else experiencing this?
