GLE 450
Noise issue

Hello,
I have a 2021 GLE 450.
I noticed that when the car is cruising between 42-49mph, there is a whine type noise coming from under the care somewhere. The noise is noticeable, but not loud. It doesn't seem to matter if I let up on the accelerator or press it.
Thoughts?

High pitched or low pitched? Does it change with speed? Are the tires wearing normally? Manually change gears when you hear the noise. Does it continue?

Door mirror wind noise? This was commonly noted when 167 launched.

I will try to change gears manually to see if that changes the noise.
Definitely not the mirrors--had that fixed. It is coming from underneath the car.
I would describe it as more of a dull medium pitched noise. It does not appear to change with speed, but stops right at 50mph and begins at about 43mph

Do you have a roof rack or an extra spoiler?

Look under the car and see if all the lower covers are properly screwed to the body.

I do not have a rack.
It does not change if I manually change gears.
Thanks

Update:
They believe it is the rear differential. They changed the fluid and said it should go away in a 100 miles or so. Sounds persisted, and they are replacing the rear differential.

Interesting, does heat affect the sound at all?

Doesn't quite sound like the symptoms you experienced. Different car though.

Do hope that the replacement fixes your issue though.
