Loving my MYLR that I picked up Black Friday. One thing that I've noticed is an interesting noise when I get above 40mph. I've attached a link to a recording where it can be heard starting about 5 seconds in. It definitely sounds like something coming from the front driver's side wheel area, but I can't narrow it down more than that. Mobile service wasn't able to pinpoint anything, so I've got an appointment at the SC Friday.. 2 hours away. Hoping I don't get there and am just told it's normal and within spec, but being my first EV I have no idea if this sound is normal.

Is this sound... "within spec"?

What is it that you are hearing? I listened to the clip and all I hear is road noise.Loving my MYLR that I picked up Black Friday.

Could just be electrical noise. Usually, the motor will start making a squeal/whine noise once you start accelerating past 40+ mph.
What's odd is accelerating makes it go away. Maintaining speed is what makes it happen. We will see what the SC says I guess..
Grabbed another clip today that's interesting. You can hear the hiss start at about 11 seconds when I move the phone down to the footwell, even though being in the car it was there the whole time I was recording. The fact that the phone picks it up so well down there makes me think it's something in that area.

Did you ever figure this out / did it go away? I believe I have this same sound. Drives me a little nuts. I hear in the 35-65mph range, whether accelerating or decelerating, with and without HVAC. Sometimes it just disappears so it doesn’t seem to be wind noise. I hear it in the whole car.
