Anyone take delivery of a model 3 this month who is noticing a humming noise when in reverse?
Apparently any cars manufactured from September 1st onwards now have a pedestrian safety noise when reversing. Sounds like a spaceship.
My Model 3 LR AWD with a little over 200 miles on it hums when in reverse, so am I to take it that this is the warning sound that Tesla has implemented to warn pedestrians of a moving car?Anyone take delivery of a model 3 this month who is noticing a humming noise when in reverse?

some call it 'the unicorn sound'.
I have no idea why.
my m3 has the sound.
I almost wish I could make it louder, on demand, since people really DON'T know your car is moving and they don't *all* deserve to die...
I wish we could program them with a sound of your choice.
Something from Star Wars or even the fart sounds.
Oh I am going to have fun with this!1 year later...
Wish granted!
Although I don't know if the new holiday update let's you replace the other sound or if it's in addition to it. And I guess Boombox won't work for those of us that disconnected the speakers (unless you reconnect them, of course, but then you have the UFO sound again. )
Bought our model Y 1 week ago, reported to Tesla Service, reply; it’s the back up pedestrian warning...Anyone take delivery of a model 3 this month who is noticing a humming noise when in reverse?

You should be able to change the sound if you want via the Boombox app in either the toy box or the entertainment section. Can even put a sound file on a usb stick and select that.
Yeah, I made a service appointment for my '21 3, but cancelled when I read the noise was the pedestrian warning system. The sound comes from a speaker in the front bumper behind the the right front tire wheel-well and the wire to the speaker can be disconnected. The noise sounds like something squealing or rubbing. People react as if something is wrong with the car...just like I did! The same speaker gives a less loud and more pleasant sound when the car is in drive, too, but can't be heard from inside the car.
