noise

Suspension rattles can have many sources. There are many moving parts that can wear out and cause rattles. It is hard to pinpoint the exact source sometimes because in the cabin they all sound very similar. I had some rattles for a while and spent month trying to get to the bottom of it. This...

I've noticed that when I turn the wheel at low or no speed, as seen/heard in this video, I get a creaking/ticking noise. Sometimes it's just one or two sounds, but usually always when I have to crank the wheel for slow turns or pulling/backing into parking spots. It's normally not as bad as the...

Hey, My model 3 came with a noise from the front panel (somewhere behind the screen), and it looks like to be in the middle of the panel. It’s not on the smartphone holder, or below the steering wheel (I’ve tried applying force on both). I took to service, they were able reproduce it on low...

It is driving me nuts! I don't know if it is referred as ‘Moter whine’. I hear the noise when driving relatively slowly around 30-70 km/h. Sometimes it is worse. It will start when slowly using the pedal at some speed. The sound/whine/whistle is also there when regenerative breaking. All help...

Does anyone have an idea what this is? It's gotten progressively worse. I have a service appointment next week, just wanted to see if anyone has had the same experience.

From day one owning the 3 (about 30 days), when I go 40 to about 55 mph, there is a whistling noise coming from the drivers side mirror. I have isolated the noise coming from between the chrome and bottom of the mirror housing. While driving, if I place my finger on the edge of the mirror...

I've searched around, and I see a number of treads about rattling suspension, but I can't seem to locate anything similar to my issue. From the audio I have heard thus far, it seems like my issue might be different. I have a Dec 2017 75D with air suspension. Since November, I have been...

Has anyone else had issues with their brakes locking up when parked? Not locking up while driving, but when parked for a certain period do time (overnight, in garage, when sitting for a few hours, etc)? I've had the car for about six months, and lately (last few months), and it has been pretty...

Hey all, Hope everyone had a safe and fun Christmas and New years. My Sig has been giving an intermittent clunk/thud from the right rear for the past month or two. It is not regularly reproducible, but most often occurs after car has been parked, once car is moving thud may occur anywhere from...

There is a crazy rattle in the headliner between my falcon doors!!! I tried doing a search and didn’t see anything on this. I took delivery three days ago on 12/21 and now the noise won’t stop. Worst thing is appointments are out weeks into January and I have to get back to MI from spending the...

Scattered throughout other threads are comments and questions about tire noise and which tire are less noisy. Well, I did quite some research, mostly reading comments/reviews of tire customers of various tire vendors. There was one tire that stood out because many reviews stated that the tire...

New Tesla owner here. I recently had a HPWC installed in my garage. Concern is a subtle humming noise from conduit while charging at 48 amps. Is this normal?? Details: Dedicated 60 AMP circuit running from my panel approx 100 feet to attached garage. 3 Wires (l1, l2, ground) are #6 copper...

I've had this noise for about 6 months now. It sounds like a roller bearing going bad...what might the experts in this forum think it is? Here is a link to 2 videos recorded on a fairly smooth road: Video 1, Noise Recording - YCF197.mp4 and 1 more file The sound has the same frequency as the...

Hey TMC. I’ve had my model 3 for a week now and it’s beven great! Now that I’m not taking advantage of the awesome acceleration at every oppurtunity, I’ve noticed a squeak in the steering. It happens at low speeds 1-5mph and only when the steering wheel crosses the center point(where the...

I can hear crakling noises in the central front speaker even when radio is off while driving. No problem when the car is stopped. Model S 100 D

My impression is that the deep trunk acts as a resonance chamber for road noise so I took a look to see if there might be an easy fix. There are some noise dampening pieces on broad metal surfaces under the trunk carpet and one big sponge under the floor of the trunk. Here are pics looking under...

About 12 degrees out, just came back from work (41 miles) plugged in at 36% to hpwc at 48A and I hear this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/a20WH94Egyh8LoME2 Something just frozen? Or 96 Mile drive to the service center tomorrow?

Anyone know what this might be? Should I stop driving it? Thanks for any feedback.

Somewhere I've read that starting in 2018 (or the 2018 model year) EVs and hybrids will need some kind of "noise accentuation" (ie. something to make noise) while driving slowly. Is this confirmed or still just an idea that hasn't been passed legislatively? Any idea of what the noise factor is...

I own a 2013 P85+ (and a new X) and the car has developed an unusual (to me) sound. As it's out of warranty, I thought to ask here... At ride height settings above LOW, it has a sound similar to a pebble or nail in your tire... I'm thinking CV joint, because that seems the only thing that...

During a recent 1,000 mile trip, I noticed my Model S 60D would make a faint noise under acceleration from the front of the car that sounded a little like a diesel engine. Often times, it would be masked by tire or wind noise. The more I pushed the accelerator, the louder the noise would...

My Model X makes a loud fan noise when it is exposed to direct sunlight in warm conditions (>25° C) when A/C is on. It is very loud from the outside, unusual for a car. During driving, it is not a problem for me inside the car, but the environment is exposed to a noise louder than that of a...

Hi all, My 2017 MS 75D is a little bit short of 2 weeks since pick up. A few days ago I was driving on the freeway and then back through town and noticed a loud noise coming from the back. Was tough to hear at first because I had music on, but when the volume lowered for the nav after the...

1. Can roast marshmallows on your exhaust manifold 2. Can rev your engine at stop lights 3. Can “off” yourself with carbon monoxide 4. Can show off your engine bay to friends and neighbors 5. Can add fancy aftermarket exhaust tips 6. Can schmooze with the smog...

What is this sound!? It's driving me nuts. The noise starts a couple seconds in and is very high pitched. What do you think? Please ignore the video as I was just trying to capture this sound. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I had my first accident 2 days ago :( Rear ended another car. Bumper needs replacement. Before I go to the body shop, I wanted to have Tesla take a look at the car to make sure there was no structural damage. I may be imagining things, but I'm feeling like there's more noise in the cabin then...

I've searched and tried to read these forums and found very little related to what I am regularly hearing in my new MX. Vin ends in 11908 delivered early this month. Only have this a week or so so its all new to me. But my wife and I both clearly hear whine that begins just above 40 mph and...

Has anyone noticed a fairly loud fan noise when the car first resumes from sleep? It seems to originate from the dash, which makes me suspect the HEPA air filter. It occurs while parked, so I doubt it's the motor. The noise is rather loud, and somewhat ruins the tranquility of an electric...

My S85D is only about 10 months old but it's already got a bad case of rattling noises on the dash and an annoying and embarassing squeaking noise near the back right wheel when the car goes over even minor bumps. The squeaking noise is even more apparent when there are passengers in the back...

Here ya go. Seemed to help a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxGCC8CUpf4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waVW09szVKw

So, I'm developing a new problem since a few weeks.. Between 120 kmh and 130kmh (75-85 mph), I have a hum that is quite apparent. It disappears as soon as I accelerate hard, but is there all the time when cruising at highway speed. Now I've read on the German TFF forum that I'm not the first to...

Hey, I was driving today listening to Slacker when a loud repeating "click" sound started from the front left of the car. It seemed like a speaker or sound system glitch because the other systems (like hvac, air suspension, etc) had no effect. Interestingly it only came from one of the front...

Anyone use a whispbar and have/fix a hum when going over 65mph? I followed the install instructions to a T, and Tesla had to remove/reinstall it as well (sunroof cable broke, unrelated but resolved now) so I know that part is right. It was a tiny bit noisy, so I covered the width adjustment...

When I'm in reverse, especially if the steering wheel isn't straight, I get a slight noise from the front area. The best way to describe it is to think of it as the (clothes) washer: when that drum starts spinning full of clothes and water/soap, it's not loud, but you can tell there is some...

After reading too many posts on TMC about users complaining about noise in their Tesla's, I came across this article which describes how many ICE cars have added fake engine noise to their models: Fake Engine Noise Is the Auto Industry's Dirty Little Secret - Slashdot The ICE makers argue that...

My New 19" Rial's seem to be scraping my wheel wells when at a certain angle when I drive in reverse. I don't hear the noise while I'm driving forward but i assume that's because of the "grain" of the tread on Wheel The guys who installed it said it's probably due to the offset on the Rial's...

Just turn 12k mikes and I'm getting a loud hum when the accelerator is pressed going over 70. It started a couple of thousand miles ago and seems to be getting worse. As soon as you let off the pedal, it goes away and starts back as soon as you step on the pedal again. Kinda sounds like a ICE...

someone posted this link in the tesla motors subreddit, http://www.banhdc.org/archives/ch-hist-19711000.html, and it provides an interesting perspective. Horses caused massive pollution, even in the small cities at the time. My favorite part is the quotes of people defending the horse, for...

My iPhone causes static/scratchy noise in the front left speaker when the iPhone is sending/receiving large amounts of data. The noise is pronounced when the iPhone is in the cubby below the touchscreen, but minimized or eliminated when I am holding the iPhone. The noise occurs even when the...

I have noticed something and I wanted to check if anyone has experienced the same, before I contact Tesla Service. First of all the Tesla Model S is super silent, though when I drive above 67mph, there is a noise that starts building insight the car. It does not seem to come from the "motor"...
