This noise seems to have just started. It has reverberation elements that sound electronic, fades away nearing 25mph. Really bad in stop and go traffic. No error messages. Any ideas? Direction I can give the SC? It’s a 2023 R1T Dual Max, 1,869 miles - Atlanta, GA (Videos attached)

Is the sound coming from the speakers and have you tried an infotainment reset?

Just tried that. Also just tried the full system restart (left button and hazards). That didn’t make a difference. I will say it is still very noticeable today, but not as loud as it was when I took the videos - maybe 25% reduction in the volume of the noise. Thanks

I am really curious to hear what it is. Thanks for including the videos so we could hear what you’re hearing. Oh, and the detail about the year/generation and drivetrain was great to have, too. I hope Rivian can get this fixed for you quickly since it seems really annoying.

My guess is a bearing in the motor. Schedule service and upload the video.
Done and waiting for the appointment. Was hoping for confirmation and reference to a repair because sometimes they like to call things normal/characteristic the first time.

Copy. Yeah I haven’t seen this one before…I do recall a couple posts in the past with motor noises.

Hoping for a quick diagnosis and fix for you.

Ends up you were correct - I am currently waiting on a backordered front drive unit.
Well, I am glad you got an answer but not so glad about motor replacement. Rivian will get you fixed up...hopefully soon.
