Fortunately, my service appointment (scheduled 6-ish weeks ago) is coming up next Friday.
A couple days ago, I noticed an odd sound when I was holding steady speed, whether by pedal manipulation, or cruise control.
I have a hard time describing it, but it only happens at steady speed, and (with cabin fan off) is easy enough to hear I'm hoping the techs can detect it. It's there regardless of speed (noticed from 3mph to 60mph, although wind noise gets in the way as you go faster), although some attributes of it seem speed-influenced. My first analogy was: a chipmunk or squirrel chittering. While I accelerate or decelerate, it goes away. But, as soon as my speed is steady, it's back.
My best guess is it's coming from the passenger-side front, but it's quiet enough (so far) that I'm not positive. What I'm positive about is, that ain't a good sound.
I mentioned it to my wife, who said, "I wasn't going to say anything, but, yeah, I noticed that." If my wife noticed it, it's a real thing.
Has anyone else experienced something that this sounds like? I'd love to go into the service appointment armed with more info.
