Loud buzzing noise near screen!

[SteveFromNY]

It began only while parked but now it’s always on and has become louder! Service call soon, but I’m curious if anybody else has experienced this. It sometimes stops when I tap the screen.

I have a loud buzzing/rattling coming from the base of the rear-view mirror trim cover. Getting it serviced tomorrow.

 

[Tim Deng]

Is it the same noise like this

It’s probably the cabin temperature sensor going bad

Any updates from service regarding this? I took delivery two days ago and have had the issue since day one. I didn’t notice until I was sitting inside with everything off except the screen and realized that the constant humming/buzzing can’t be normal.

They replaced the temperature sensing fan, it's very slightly better. But the noise is still there. It's coming from the fan vibrating.

I had this after getting my cabin camera swapped for one with IR, buzzing/crackling coming from where the IR emitters are in the rearview mirror/cabin camera housing.

I took the housing open, and cleaned the plastic and all touching parts with alcohol wipes, and problem seemed solved after that.

That's a bummer! I'll update after my service next week.

They replaced the fan but it only became marginally better. I still hear it when the car is off but I usually drive with my music way up so I don’t even notice it under normal operations

 

[Tim Deng]

It’s mainly caused by the fan shaking, I may try felt tape the housing when I get time.

 

[pontelaspilas]

going in for this issue soon and it's probably the cabin temp fan issue also.

Finally went in for service for this and other things. Had the absolute rudest service advisor who insulted me for bringing up concerns. I mentioned the issue and how it could be related to the cabin fan or cabin temp sensor. He didn’t say anything about it when returning my car and when I asked, said the car makes lots of noises so it’s normal. I’ll probably try again at another service center, but I didn’t feel like dealing with the service advisor anymore.

Did you sit in the car with the advisor together? Turning off the AC, then the noise is pretty obvious.

He was not interested in the slightest, and after catching major attitude from him for other things, I didn’t want to waste my time. I managed to show him a video I had with everything off where the noise is so obvious. He brushed it off as the car runs many things and is always checking sensors, so you must have been in the car at that time. Obviously bs, but I decided I’d rather try again at another service center with someone interested in at least trying to help. This guy apparently decided as soon as we walked out to my car, that there was nothing wrong my car in any way and I need to get a life if I thought otherwise. Yes, these words were actually said lol.

Did you finally figure out a fix?

 

[teslico]

Did you finally figure out a fix?

Nope. I usually have the music on pretty loud, so most days I don’t notice. With everything off, it definitely sounds slightly louder than before. I will update if I can get mobile service to come out and avoid having to bring it in.

The CPU fan can be pretty noisy at times, depending on how hard it is working. It seems to be behind the dash somewhere.
