I've heard a much fainter whine than in that clip coming from somewhere between the back seat and the rear. I have to be listening for it to hear it. I'm regarding that as normal.Just noticed this noise, and can't un-hear it at any speed.
It's almost like a ground loop noise, but it follows vehicle speed, not engine speed.
Found a post on Reddit where the vehicle was diagnosed with transmission issue, and transmission will be replaced under warranty.

There it was, very faint, at 50 mph with the radio off, AC running on low, on a smooth blacktop where tire noise would not disguise it. Unlike the OP, it went away when I let all the way off the gas. It came back upon very mild reacceleration. I could easily see how many drivers would not take note of it--that's how faint I found it to be.
Brought the car in, they drained the transfer case, and there were shards of metal on the plug. So a replacement is on the way. Shpuld be fixed within a week... surprisingly, given the state of the world.Just noticed this noise, and can't un-hear it at any speed.

So it was the Diff or Tranny?Brought the car in, they drained the transfer case, and there were shards of metal on the plug. So a replacement is on the way. Shpuld be fixed within a week... surprisingly, given the state of the world.
Side note: In the mean time they gave me a non turbo as a loaner. Not to be picky at all, but I must say that I'm glad I got the turbo. The start of the acceleration is the same... The rest is like mashed potatoes with no dressings... Just vrrrbleeeeehhhhhhh.
Transmission. Most likely a failed internal bearing. It spent 2 months at the dealer to get sorted.So it was the Diff or Tranny?
