High Frequency Whine/Sound

[KodyK19]

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 my curiosity is peaked and this is the type of stuff that kills the cat, so let us know!

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 (think doctor’s hearing test). I used a frequency analyzer and confirmed that this happens when in electric mode and when slowing down/accelerating at less than 5PM.

I really wanna love the truck, but every time I drive it through my neighborhood it gives me a headache from the pitch. My wife also hears it and it gives her a headache so at least I’m not alone lol.

I’m thinking either it’s from the electric steering rack, the external noise generator, or something to do with hybrid components.

I’m taking it into my local dealer tomorrow, but I’m worried that they’re just gonna blow me off if they don’t have somebody that can hear it.

Anybody experience this? I found a couple of people on the forum that posted something similar, but not necessarily the same. I’d really like to start loving my new truck 100%.

Mine is pretty quiet but I cannot hear over 10k. Mine does have the electric brakes and electric power steering.
