High-pitched "Electrical Whine"

[macchiaz-o]

A replacement screen driver should fix it.

@methorian just got his car. Seems a bit mean to suggest that he's a bad driver. ?

Driving my Mach-E in Unbridled mode, I don't blame folks for thinking I'm a "bad" driver! ?

I hear that sound in my head 24/7. I think it's called Tinnitus.

I worked with a fella that did a hitch in the Navy working on aircraft. Said his rack was directly below the flight deck and he always spoke at a full roar as he was pretty close to deaf because if it.

That's definitely annoying!

And not normal. I’ve been in 4 MachEs and never heard that sound.

Final and definitive confirmation that there's a fault.

I've decided to take a half-day off work tomorrow. Will be trying to get my hands on the FCTP unit that was delivered to another dealer near by to compare - then to my dealer to discuss some other things in addition to the whine.

Unscientific, but I can hear registers others can‘t so my hearing is pretty good.

Honestly, I have Tinnitus so bad from my Navy days in a Submarine's engine room I hear an electrical whining sound that is much louder than that all the time. I could hear the noise from the video over my own whining ears though.

Same (Tinnitus) so loud (also probably service related), I still could hear it clearly during the MRI diagnostics looking for the cause. I could hear the whine in the video too, but only because it is at a different frequency, my Tinnitus tone is a bit higher.

maybe the sound is a feature and those other four are at fault. did you think about that? well, did you?

I’ll be honest — this is one of the things that scares me the most about vehicles that are more computers than mechanical. Over time and through the many bumps on the road, are the components of EVs designed to sustain those jolts? I suppose one can argue that electrical components are more resilient than mechanical (fewer moving parts), but all it takes is one bad capacitor to throw the user experience in a tailspin.

Maybe I’m overthinking this.

If the Space capsules electronics can handle the vibration.G forces, and violent departure and re-entry and still function,.a bumpy road or even an accident would be nothing in comparison. Having said that, the acceptable component failure/defect rate allowance on a Space vehicle is incredibly low and nearly zero. Where failure could mean the loss of life and vehicle, it has to be. We're bound to get a glitch or two in a Brand New vehicle, but the process to correct these things better be easy and immediate by a manufacturer

So far my biggest issue/complaint is a pretty obvious high-pitched electrical whine that seems to come from somewhere around the small instrument cluster screen........

This sound is obviously the result of Ford not installing a heat pump in the MME. Proof: Toupee Guy posted a video on Reddit.

Same with me. The one advantage I have Patrick is that after 40+ years of flying airplanes I can't detect the sound as annoying although I can hear it once it was pointed out. My upper-frequency hearing is shot from decades of propellers and turbines. I'll have to rely on my wife to detect it.

Let's hope there's a quick and easy fix for this.

I doubt I could hear it, either. For me it was years in a machine shop, on an open station tractor, sound engineer for a rock band, and shooting trap. My high frequency hearing never stood a chance!
