1st World Problem: Mach-E too quiet on smooth roads

[jpinFLX]

Under 25mph the damn thing sounds like an oversized Roomba, my dogs can hear it and start barking when the wife is over a block and a half away.

What year is yours? Mine is a 2023 and no where near that loud. Maybe once the A/C needs to run?

Yes

If you can't hear it from outside when the car is in Drive, something is wrong with yours. Maybe you have a blown speaker or something. Can you hear it beep when in Reverse?

It only makes the noise in DRIVE, not in PARK. It's as noticeable as it is required to be.

Sounds like this:

In that video the sound seems speed dependent, the faster it goes the louder it sounds to me. Since there are people walking I am only going like 8mph.

The pitch changes with speed, the loudness stays the same. If they can't hear that coming then they're hard of hearing.

I believe this is the first thread I've ever seen complaining about how quiet the noise is. Everyone says it is too annoying...

Like me. I have my pedestrian speaker turned off. The sound of silence is beautiful. I can hear the tires crackling on the leaves, and the birds chirping in the trees. Ahhhh....

Maybe it is because this is what I heard for 4 years

Wow. That is horrible.

Yup. That choir of angels was silenced within an hour of my wife’s RAV4 Prime coming home from the dealer.
