Blower motor on high is super loud

[Potatman]

I am just wondering if everyone's else's blower motor on high sounds exceptionally loud. I don't know if I'm just crazy but I don't think I've never ever heard a blower motor that sounds as loud. Don't know anyone else that has a Maverick might have to stop by the dealer and check out a new one to see if it's blower motor sounds like mine.

Yes, they are LOUD.

Yep, my 23 is loud too.

I have a hybrid and when I turn my blower motor all the way up it sounds like the ice engine is kicking in

The HVAC on the Maverick is so good that I rarely have it on high for more than a few seconds, even when my vehicle has been sitting in summer sun in the mountains here in Washington. The blower itself doesn't sound loud to me, just the moving air.

Yes the blower motor is loud at max speed. Is it louder than other vehicles I've owned at full speed? I've never held a decibel meter to it, but not really any louder than any other vehicle I've owned. Each vehicle has a different pitch due to fan size, length of the tubes, and the shape of the vents though.

Very loud, very powerful. And, interestingly, I feel that the lowest speed ISN'T low enough. Sure wish they could update it and make it bow half-as-fastc as the current most low speed. Anyone else the same?

My 2024 Lariat 2.0L on high is no louder than my 2021 Bronco Sports blower on high.

the gas engine could in fact be starting.

it has a threshold for HVAC demand that will cause the gas engine to run in order to give you more heat or cold.

Loudness also depends on how many vents you have selected.

Or at least that will confirm if it's the blower or the sound of rushing air that you find loud - because defrost, upper, and lower combined reduces the volume a noticeable amount for rushing air, even though same fan speed.

Ah, maybe you need to adjust your expectations.

It's not the wind noise but the motor itself that makes the loud noise

The the blower is loud because it's right there under the glove box. You can see it in the picture below it's the roundish thing.
Maverick is kind of sparse on insulating material.
