I did, a 2022 hybrid lariat. Same sound.

That makes me feel better then, if I do any sound deadening I’ll be less concerned with excess heat from the engine bay. Maybe that’s why it’s so loud too for me too, it being in the cab and all.

Is this on the cab side of the firewall (under the dash), or in the engine bay?

Where is the EPS motor and controller located? I need to do some soundproofing. Unfortunately I have very sensitive hearing and the power steering in all Mavericks (Ecoboost, hybrid, FWD/AWD) makes a high frequency whine (16,000-18,000HZ) that gives me a headache. I’ve test driven 5 different...

If I pulled the fuse for the power steering will the truck implode on itself? In all seriousness, I believe the source of my headache in high frequency (think doctors hearing test or a dentistry tool) whine is coming from the power steering. It really only makes the pitch when the steering is...

I have an update, my local dealer was able to identify the sound. They’re not sure if it’s normal or unique to my truck. I’m going to drive another hybrid maverick tomorrow morning alongside mine with a technician and compare.

Well, it’s totally coming from the power steering in my mind after my drive home. When the wheel is straight, no matter which mode, regen or not, accelerating or slowing down no noise. As soon as I turn at slow speeds it does it. The more stress on the system the worse it gets. @jerrisn @CD_SM...

I notice it most when slowing down at about 10 MPH with steering input in.

I’m going to see what the dealer says, then go from there. I may try disabling the external speaker with the buyable kit, or adding sound deadening

I test drove 3 hybrids and one ecoboost. At least I didn’t notice it at the time. Maybe I was distracted.

Is there any way to dampen this? I’ve seen a few posts of people adding sound ending to the doors/firewall/back wall/etc. Or just wait until my hearing starts to go with age. 😂 I’m a young high school band Director, so this shouldn’t take long.

I wish it wasn't such an issue for me too…. I almost want to test drive a few more to see if they make the same sound.

I’ll give it a shot when driving home. When I test drove other Mavericks, they didn’t seem to make the sound.

It’s not the spaceship like sound I’ve heard other times. It’s a high-pitched whistle that rings in your ears.

Sadness. Legally my brain hurts then.

It’s really that high pitched? I saw that there’s a company that makes a disabler for it, I’d really hate to do this as it makes it a deadly missile lol. But I gotta do what I gotta do.

I received my 2024 XL hybrid yesterday, and I found when braking and often times with the steering wheel turned, the truck produces a very, very high frequency sound. Almost an inaudible shrill pitch. Unfortunately, I’m very sensitive to high-pitched sounds, especially in the 20,000 Hz range...
