As the temperatures have dropped here in the Boston area, I have noticed this humming or buzzing noise as I'm driving. Is it related to the cold weather? The climate control system?

Hi there! I can look into your Mach-E's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Mach-E's VIN?

I read this post at least 5 times and I didn’t hear the buzzing any of these times.

It's probably trying to recover heat from the motors or battery to heat the cabin. That requires a coolant pump to run at higher speed, so you may notice that noise. It's more efficient that way.

I have th same issue here in UK - the temperature has dropped and once the car is used for approx 15 min the noise disappears - but would appreciate if Ford would let us know all is ok and as it should be ?

Yeah I noticed a similar sound shortly after I got my car last spring. If it's the same sound, you can almost activate it on demand by navigating to a DCFC when it's cool out. Some kind of pump for the cooling/heating system sounds like. The AC isn't quiet either but it's a different noise.

See this video I made on it:
