Heater makes a “whoosh” noise?

In context though, Teslas are whisper quiet due most of the time.

I think most of our previous cars probably had the same noise, but we didn't hear it due to the ICEngine.

Was this ever solved? I'm getting this same sound on my model S refresh every minute as well. And from the outside it also makes a similar sound

Hi,

I made peace with it in my Model 3. I believe it was the heat pump. It wasn't a coincidence that it happened when it was cold and the heater was on.

I have a Model Y now and I occasionally hear it, albeit more subtle.

I still think we only hear these weird sounds because we're accustomed to having a loud internal combustion engine.


For peace of mind, a trip to the service center for due diligence isn't a bad thing.

Does it sound like this noise? (See link to video) my M3 was making this sound last night and I'm wondering if I should schedule service for it. I believe it's when the heat is on, since it was cold out when I took the video.

no, its not a whirring noise.

Hey I’m getting this also. Tesla service says it’s normal but a few here have had temperature sensors replaced and the problem solved. Am thinking it’s a wide spread issue they’d rather sweep under the rug because short cycling compressors are not healthy.

Several cars I've owned have made similar "whooshing" sounds.

I wouldn't consider 25 posts in 2 1/2 years in this specific thread to be any indication of a "wide spread issue they'd rather sweep under the rug."
