Sharing a strange issue that's popped up on my 2023. Just noticed a high-pitched whine recently, especially when slowing down below 5 mph or idling. Goes away as soon as I pick up speed, and even happens when engaging reverse. Definitely wasn't there the first few months I owned it. Checked online and couldn't find much, but there was this EV6 video that seems to have the exact same noise! Anyone else experiencing this?
 
Can you take a vid of it? If I'm not mistaken, it might just be the pedestrian warning system. That's a safety feature that activates at low speeds to alert people outside.
 
I hear it when I'm driving around 60mph. It's not very loud, and it goes away when I speed up or slow down slightly. I think it's caused by the electric motors. I'm used to it now, and it actually makes me laugh at times.
