I don't think there's much we can do if the car operates within these noise tolerances by design. Like I said, they decided to go ahead and sell these loud af drive configurations to protect their bottom line probably knowing there will only be a few of us that will end up complaining. Me...
Depends on what's they would replace it with. Maybe the newer drive units are quieter, or the gen 2's have better sound dampening.
Ultimately we may have to accept the fact that our vehicles were a briefly sold variant released with engineering compromises to maximize sales.
A tech and master tech rode with me. The master tech told me the noise could potentially get even louder over time which is pretty discouraging. My guess is Rivian did not have time to adequately address the dual motor noise before gen 2 came out and decided to start selling them in order to...
Was at the service center today for my second attempt at having them address the same issue but was told the same thing. They also let me test a gen 2. It was dead silent compared to my gen 1. I don't see how they can say this is normal when they obviously made what would appear to be...
Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly but you were able to trade out of a lease agreement into another vehicle? The noise is driving me nuts and I no longer look forward to driving the car. Have another service appointment next week. If they refuse to do anything I don't know what my...
Wanted to add a data point. Got my car back from service for wind noise. I'm don't know of all the areas they worked on but the gasket was definitely replaced on the front driver side door and window. The car is now whisper quiet (aside from tire noise) on the highway at 70mph.
Would you mind recording a video of you car at speeds from 10-40mph for reference? We only have videos from people reporting noise issues here and having a baseline would help.
Traded in my quad for the extra range of the dual and instantly regretted it because of the noise. Couldn't return it because it's a lease and now my only hope is that service will agree that the drive is too loud.
Been choosing to drive the model y over the r1s so I don't have to hear the...
I updated my initial recording, boosting the offending noise so that it matches closer to what I'm actually hearing in the car. Yours sounds very similar to mine. This will definitely turn off people coming from Teslas. This is my second R1S and I have an R2 ordered but if Rivian thinks this...
I think it might be the road and wind noise that's responsible for most of the sound being picked up by the app. Our ears are probably more attuned to the unusual sounds produced by the motor. My quad motor's noise was far quieter than the dual which concurs with your experience.
Also, based...
