How noisy your climate fan?

[No42]

I can hear it from level "1" and it gets really noisy at level "4".
Is it more quite for you?

Nope. It’s very loud after 4 like you said. I don’t even like putting it in auto cuz it’s always at 10. I manually adjust the fan speed.

But this is the car for all auto climate controlled cars. It’s too loud when you first use the auto ac.

Agree - one of my biggest (albeit small) gripes about my Model 3 Performance. Even level 3 is bothersome.

This seems odd. My auto setting has the fan at level 2 lol

I reported this to my service center at delivery (Feb build). I remembered the fan noise from the showroom Model 3 that appeared briefly in Dec 2017 and it was pretty quiet. The SC told me I was right, and they lubed the fan. It's pretty quiet now.

The noise I was hearing was not just the air coming thru the vents; it had a more abrasive mechanical sound to it. I have no problem with the normal whoosh of air coming out.
