Increased Cabin Noise

[McQueen]

My '23 Mach-e Premium AWD (11/23 build) just passed 10k miles and has operated flawlessly since the "bricking" experience that likely was my own fault (failed to maintain pressure on the brake when pressing the start button, so I was driving on the LVB accessories' voltage until it died on the road). At around 9k miles the 10k Ford service was done and the LVB was swapped out. (Surprising Fact: the Ford Tech showed me that the old/original LVB was at 92%, and suggested I leave it in, but my paranoia since the "bricking" informed the peace-of-mind decision to have it replaced anyway, for around $300).
New issue: Interior cabin noise is now, suddenly, dominating the experience. A species of humming that is loud enough to require the radio to be cranked up to be heard. I checked for "propulsion" sound, but that was off. Opened the windows all the way, then closed them all, but that made no difference. I thought it might be caused by the road surface and/or my tires, but my community just re-paved with smooth as silk asphalt, and the noise is softened a little, but still there when I get off the exterior roadways and come back into my community. Irritating.
Anybody else experiencing this?

“Species of humming” is not adequately descriptive to be able to imagine what you are hearing, but I have on a couple of occasions accidentally activated the max defrost by accidentally brushing the screen with my finger. I remember the first time it happened, thinking I had a big truck coming up beside me. That’s the only thing I’m coming up with.

Every time I’ve had a sudden source of noise it’s been something in the cabin vibrating. My glasses often rattle in their holder; my keys may rattle with the road depending on how they’re placed; or my girlfriend just starts bouncing and makes a funny noise with fabrics I can’t ID.
