Gear Whine - Any stories on resolution?

Mine is louder. It sounds like a fighter jet taking off.

My cyber beast makes an awesome sounds when accelerating, but not when cruising. That sounds very loud to me. On a related note, I didn’t think I would want any sound when accelerating, because I’ve heard the fake motor sounds other EVs make, but I like this sound, sounds powerful. I do miss the sound of a throaty V8 though.

All Teslas have the electric motor sound when accelerating. Only the Cybertruck has the constant gear whine sound to go with this. I feel like only some have stated they have this. Tesla service (2 different locations) have told me this is normal and exclusive to how the truck was made and it is indeed gear whine.

As it gets colder, it's getting louder. It's really my biggest gripe with the truck, it's really loud in the interior. I wanted to see if everyone had this and if anyone was any to get this fixed. (Video/Audio Coming).

The sound starts at 4mph and stops around 55-60....even if you hold 4 mph or any speed, it remains (unlike the motor sound) as shown here.

Mine definitely does not sound like that. I might just be the video, but yours sounds really loud. I've got about 5k miles on mine.

I wanted to add my two cents since in my experience here daily I don't think I've read this counter point.

I believe it is not the motor whirring, that sound is clear during acceleration. (and comparable with other Tesla's, although louder which I love!)

I believe the sound everyone keeps referring to sounds a transmission (gear box) type sound happening. You can hear it clearly engaging and disengaging based on your accelerator inputs vs the trucks acceleration or deceleration.

It is higher pitched than the motor and you can hear the pitch change with your speed, since it's literally connecting your motor to your wheel. It has a sound of its own which is in addition to the motors. And yes, I believe Tesla when they say its normal.

As mentioned the sound is not present on other Tesla models, I'm guessing that's because none of them have locking differential beefy truck transmissions. It is a brand new gearbox never been used before, anywhere.

Could Tesla have made it quieter? Maybe?! But how is this even a real complaint once you weight the pros and cons? I'd rather enjoy the noise and keep the truck that can drive itself, and adjust to any height or terrain easily and on the fly with the touch of buttons. It's incredible.

To complain about a little noise or attempt to have fixed what the manufacturer says is "how it's supposed to be" defies all reason and logic to me. But hey, that's just me. Love you all though! Have a great day

Idk man. Mine makes a noise when accelerating that in my opinion sounds kinda cool and isn't distracting. But mine definitely isn't that loud and doesn't really exist when maintaining a speed. His sounds like it's constant.

Mine is AWD but I have the same experience as you. Cool sounds during acceleration but not when maintaining speed.
