F25 - Strange Noise when Accelerating
Hi, recently a strange noise has been occurring when accelerating passed 20MPH, it sounds like a winding up noise (sounds very electronic sounds like its coming from the front). It only gets louder at higher speeds, and when slowing down or letting off the gas pedal the noise softens.
My car is a '17 F25, with just under 50k miles on it, the noise began less than 3k miles ago but was not as loud. I seen other posts that say it could be a belt or AC comp, but mechanic says that's okay. Had it looked at but mechanic, believes its a rear differential problem (found metallic shavings in the RD oil). I don't argue that I will possibly need to gets the RD changed. Can the RD be making such noise? |

Let us know if your rear diff fixes it. My sound described in the linked thread sounds distinctly as if it's from the rear, not the front, like a tiny airplane following close behind me.

Our 16 xdrive35 made the same noise and at the same conditions. Drove me nuts. Thought it was the diff since making left or right turns made no difference. Found out it was both rear wheel bearings. Been two years and the noise never came back. It happened at around 42k miles. EXACT symptoms and at the exact conditions.
