2020 Whistle Sound

[Begone]

I'm taking mine in tomorrow morning - I'm waiting around to see what they say. I'll let you know. Glad I'm not the only one, but still sucks that we even have to deal with this being a 2020 and brand new....Things should be better at this point, not worse.

windshield seal possibly. have seen it before. could possibly be the problem. but definitely something to hear in person. just a random guess

Well mine has it. 1 day old 2020, picked it up with 7 miles on it .

It is driveline, pitch changes with speed. Does not matter the engine rpm, transmission gear, 2wd or 4wd. It gets louder the more you accelerate , you can change the tone with throttle.

My previous 2 Raptors were silent.

I have reached out to let the dealer know. Likely be a week or so before I take it in.

Mine has the same sound as too, I just assumed it was the turbos spooling. I picked up my 2020 on Nov 15 and it only has 300 miles on it.

Maybe you’re heading the infamous 10 speed trans whine

Infamous?

Stock factory tires?

Wow. That’s 3 2020’s all brand new right off the dealer floor. Somethings up.

I too believe it’s driveline related. It’s not tire noise, window seals, or airbox. It’s not a whistle sound like that air related, it’s a metallic whistle sounds like a turbo but it increases with speed and stays at the same level of pitch at any maintained speed. The faster you go the higher the pitch all the way to speed limiter. It’s just there all the time.

FWIW my 10 speed was silent until I took it out to the dunes and drove it hard and hot for a while. Now it whines, especially at the top of 1,2,3,5
