Whirring noise 10 - 20mph
Hey everyone. I have a 2021 S580. Thought I'd make a post asking if anyone else has a similar noise in their car.
It's a whirring noise primarily from 10 to 20mph, happens in both 2nd and 3rd gear, and it changes frequency (the whirring becomes faster and higher pitched) and volume as speed increases. It occurs on flat surfaces, while driving straight or turning, and does not seem to change in relation to bumps in the road. I also hear it without my foot on the accelerator when coasting.
I wanted to start here with other owners who are used to a quiet car before heading to the dealer and trying to track down noises.
Thanks for reading.
