Oh, wow! Ok, that is definitely different than mine. Mine is hardly audible. Windows have to be up, radio off, and HVAC on low or off. My wife can't really hear it. Could just be a worse progression than what I have, however, mine has had the same tone since mile 1 and no other issues. Either...

First decent snow here in midwest, and I was extremely impressed with our 2017 CX-5 in the snow. Coupled with a humble (i.e. not torquey) engine, you really don't have to change your throttle input much. That is nice because it doesn't take a professional driver to get around safe with this car...

I created the original thread re: 2017 noise. I took comfort in the number of people reporting a similar noise, lol, but sheesh, transmission replacement? We now have 10k miles on the car and taking it for oil change this week. I'm hesitant to have the car taken apart for a transmission...

Very nice. Which tips did you go with and how much did the install run you?

I bought a black car in March and regretted it as soon as I pulled in the driveway. (pissed) Lesson learned :) Our CX-5 is red and while it's a cousin of black, it's much more forgiving.

One other thing. I got a call from my wife this weekend freaking out. She goes, "there are marks all over the front bumper!...I wasn't parked by anyone!" I said...are they evenly spaced?... "yes" she replies. Low and behold, the preset drill marks for front plate gave her a scare :).

I clayed, waxed, cleaned tires....and it rained 5 seconds after I finished. Clay - Mother's Speed Clay 2.0 - this was awesome to use. Makes claying a lot less worrisome because you can rinse it off at any time. Wax - Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax - can't comment on durability, but smelled...

I know you responded with an actual answer, but imagining someone brake torquing a ~190 HP CUV is a hilarious thought :) Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yeah, the grippy dashboard is on all models. Real fun wiping a microfiber over it... ;) Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yup, that's exactly it. Mine is most noticeable in the 45-55 range. After that, wind and road noise, albeit not really loud either, drown it out. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Interesting, thanks for your response. I only hear it with windows up; is that your case too? Also, from what I can tell, it doesn't change in volume or pitch once the speed hits where you can hear it. Not tied to RPM either. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I appreciate the people that have posted checking for the noise. By no means is the noise loud. It's just at a certain frequency that I pick up. And, now that I know the sound, I'm attuned to it. Hoping this thread will accumulate more posts as we go. Sounds like me and Pete, thus far. Sent...

That makes two of us! Well, I feel more comfortable knowing I'm not the lone ranger, now. Easier to find an answer with multiple reports. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Correct, it happens all the time. No need to warm up the car, etc. and has occurred in 40*F to 100*F weather. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'd hesitate to associate what I'm hearing with wind, but I could be wrong. It almost sounds electronic in nature. The noise reminds me of a large plane taxiing, right before takeoff. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I posted a several weeks ago on the engine/transmission section, but want to post a follow-up here given forum members are starting to accumulate 2017s. Bought a 2017 GT AWD on April 29. Since we've gotten it, I've noticed a faint high-frequency whine/whistle/ring. It is most evident from about...

Ughhh, sorry to hear that Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

To each their own. The 17 looks more taut, athletic, refined. The 16 looks bubbly and playful. Different strokes for different folks. The 2017 CX-5 appeals to me because it shares characteristics with Audi's Q5 or Porsche's Macan. The 2017 CX-5 is expensively styled, IMO Sent from my Pixel...

Lol "world's better". Can you feed me some more hyperbole? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
