Hybrid engine noises after recall repairs

[montyql]

I have a 2022 Maverick XLT Hybrid with 30K miles. I took it to the dealer 2 weeks ago to get a few recalls done and to fix a "Shift SYS Fault" service alert. They replaced the shift knob to fix they shift fault.(apparently a common problem) I got 3 or 4 recalls done, including side air bags and I think the blinkers and no start. (I'll check my paperwork later to confirm what they said they did)

I picked it up Thursday and noticed some strange engine noises. It's a high pitched whining/buzzing that sounds like a mix of air blowing with old PC boot up noises. It does not make noises in electric mode. The noise starts when the engine starts. I notice it most between 20-50MPH. The hybrid has always made some weird noises, but this is different, louder, and higher pitched. I haven't noticed a change in handling or acceleration. I'm probably going to call the dealer again to see what's up.

Anyone else ever notice a change in engine noises or have a loud 2.5L?

You can hear the high pitched whine better in the 2nd video.

Serious question - do you ever drive your truck with the radio off?

I have always found that if you are not used to doing so you might experience some sounds that you consider abnormal if you do. Especially if you are the type that regularly listens to loud music in the car. That being said…

Yours sounds just like mine does.

Good luck!

I'm usually listening to something. But this sound is high pitched and cuts through what I'm listing to.

UPDATE:
Took it back to the dealer and they we able to fix it pretty quickly. One of the warranty repairs was to replace a drive line that connects behind the dash and steering wheel. Tech said a grommet wasn't properly in place which allowed sounds to get though that normally don't. So the sounds are normal, but they were much louder than they usually are.
