driving to work, and there is noise from rear wheel - but not in reverse - the noise speeds up as the truck speeds up?

300 miles…

Fixed by changing suspension from sport to all purpose, then back to sport, and regen from high to standard and back to high...

???

I have this same thing I think - a low frequency “hum” or “growl” that increases with speed coming somewhere from the rear. I had a service tech go w/ me for a drive and he said it sounded normal to him. He thinks it might be related to the “Service Suspension System Soon” error my truck has as he found that the right rear air-spring/shock has some sort of issue (he didn’t really elaborate). I have a service center appointment schedule 3/2 (earliest I could get!). That sound issue is still on my ticket, so I hope we make some progress there. It’s nothing that some good music at high volume can’t fix, but it is definitely noticeable and I do worry a little bit about it getting worse over time. Watching this thread with interest.

What kind of noise is it? I recently been hearing a clicking sound when going forward (but not noticeable in reverse) that is easy to hear about 3-10 mph and is still there going normal driving speeds but it's hard to heard it with the motor sounds. I don't seem to hear it until recently but I usually have the air running with music so I have to turn it all off to hear it. I have about 1200 miles on the odometer.

I checked my tires for rocks because sometimes that is the clicking sound and I didn't see any rocks or debris on my tires. Today I couldn't really hear it but its been hard to with all the rain noises lately.

I also have a service suspension warning for the past 2 months while I wait for my service appointment at the end of the month. We'll see if they are related or if something just needs some lubrication (I hope). I think there is just a loose connection for the suspension as hitting a hard bump will sometimes cause the warning to go away, but it just comes back shortly after.

Curious what you all found here. I have about 2000 miles on my R1T and experiencing this. I may try changing drive modes into and out of sport mode and the regen settings.

Taking mine in on the 17th to get this issue looked at. I will post what they say. The noise started small but has gotten louder. 5-20 MPH the clicking is obnoxious. Mine goes away when in conserve mode. Noise is in the passenger rear.

How'd it go? We're they able to fix it?
They suspected it was a loose underbody panel and they tightened that, however, the drone persisted. I have another appointment on July 12th to have it looked at again. Drove across the country and did mixed driving between All Purpose / Conserve and it seems like the noise is a bit less audible after all those miles but it now happens at slightly lower speeds.
