    Weird noise from dash…

    I have a 2024 SQ5 with 10,000 miles now… when I’m driving home from work at highway speeds for an extended time… I hear what sounds like a weird hum (almost electric noise) coming from dash area. I can stop the noise by turning the steering wheel or hitting brakes or accelerating. But it doesn’t sound like a wheel bearing. I know there’s a warranty blah blah, I can recreate it, but anyone else had this issue on their b9/9.5 sq5? Pic for fun…

    Could stlll be a wheel bearing; the sound insulation inside is quite good. I had what sounded like a computer fan near the dash in my car and when the dealer put the car onto the hoist they used a stethoscope to determine that both my front wheel bearings needed replacing.

    My B9 was bought used (4yrs old with CPO warranty) and only had 29,000 km / 18,000 mi when the wheel bearings were replaced. I did not think the noise was wheel bearings but the dealer proved otherwise.
