high frequency sound?

[bwilliams]

I've been stumped as to why my dog screams - and I mean loud screaming like she's being tortured - while riding in my MY. This is not something she did with our ICE vehicle nor the 2014 Model S. It occurred to me that there might be high frequency (outside human ability to hear) sound that is painful for dogs - or at least her. It's just a guess and not sure what a solution might be. Any others noticing dog discomfort while driving with them?

I don't have pets. But I looked this up.

No wonder, look at the ears on your dog!

I've noticed a slight high frequency noise/whine coming from my model 3 with the throttle depressed at certain positions (usually when there is a very low load applied to the motors... so for example, maintaining a speed on the highway). From what I understand, it may be related to the grounding? I've read about others experiencing this as well so perhaps this is what your dog is freaking out about?

Next time I need to go to the SC, I'm going to mention it.

The car does generate a high frequency sound. Its normal. I can faintly hear it but most people I ask can't. I have a model 3 and can hear it when my rear seats are down. High frequency sounds are generated by a lot of electronics. High frequency sounds have been known to cause anxiety in dogs.

Normally mine does this also. It's louder in a certain throttle position. Almost neutral like when I am not accelerating or slowing. Its normal.

Reality check. This is a bummer not just for the dog but the human(s) having to listen to the screaming and knowing my dog is really suffering.

Ive not seen it, but I don’t know that he’s suffering. He may be answering a call, that’s what they do in the wild.
