How loud/annoying is this? Is it easily ignored, by say low volume music or podcast? Between this and the steering vibrations that others have reported, Im getting scared off of buying one.

My friend’s Model S P100D Tesla is amazingly quiet. In fact it’s so quiet, it makes driving a tranquil experience. I find myself turning the sound system off just to wallow in the serenity of it all! I really like it! I suppose it’s because it’s just so unusual to experience such refinement in an automobile.
Anyway, the real reason why I mention this, is because the Tesla has deliberately been built to be quiet. No pistons going up and down, no fuel pumps, oil pumps, water pumps, fan belts and all of the other combustion engine noises, no transmission, and no exhaust. It’s quiet because it ‘has’ to be quiet. If one manufacturer can do it then so can another. A lot of noises produced by ordinary cars are drowned out by the cacophony of other mechanicals going on. Cars will continue to get quieter and we will continue to grow more discerning. Prestige car manufacturers are finding us harder and harder to please. |

Steering vibrations? When turning or what? The wheel in general. This car is so quiet that other noises seem heightened. Had I road ina Jeep Wrangler I would never notice the other road noises beyond the womp of the tires. I spent months looking into this noise. I found it present on all modern sport suv. Also the m3 makes this noise. No noise in a m6 or 750i but entirely different class of car. Haven’t tested the 5 series besides the x5. X3 g01 all make this noise. I’ve test driven 6 m40i, 3 30is, m3, x1, x2 m sport, x5 base, all made this noise on different levels. Mostly heard on chip asphalt. If you never had run flats before any car with them will be loud. Unless you can afford the new macan gts turbo this car is a joy to drive. I don’t ever remember this noise unless this thread gets popular. If you notice of all the people who claimed to hear it. Only one actually got rid of the car. It’s present in every vehicle. |

Well sounds like the noise is tolerable and easily ignored for the most part. |

For those monitoring the thread...I am not saying the noise would disqualify purchasing the vehicle or make me consider getting rid of it. Outside of the slight noise, it has a great ride, drive and features and other noises such as wind and engine are minimal. It is sort of the case of once heard, then you become aware of it. I imagine over time I won't hear / pay attention to it anymore. Right now it is a new vehicle so I am hyper sensitive to everything on it. And I have a tendency to be a perfectionist |

Have to be honest I can't tell because there is a loud whistling noise. But I hear the what we have identified as normal resonating noise caused from Chip roads. I posted a video a few pages back you could probably confirm with that. Not sure if you read through the posts but multiple cars have been driven and this is on every model of the G01 X3. As well as many other brands and models due to lighter aluminum chassis, run flats, and lack of other sounds which would normal drown this one out.
