Differential whine
Anybody get a whine from there differential at certain speeds?
I have a pretty loud and distinct whine when cruising at 90km ....if I’m doing 120 and let it decel on it’s own , whine comes on at exactly 90km . I read a few posts in other forums where the gear mesh might be off or some casting could be still on the gears . My cars a 2020 with 1100 kms on it . Probably bring it up at break in service see what happens . |

Mine is a 2020, approx 5300 miles, and I've heard the whine ever since I got rid of the ASD. Mine starts at right around 50-55 mph, and by 65 mph it's gone. Only really prevalent when I'm around 10% throttle, if I give it some more pedal it goes away. Doesn't really bother me, tons of less performance oriented cars have more drivetrain noise.

Yeah i think the next question would be what your car history is. I dont hear it in mine (2020 M2C) but in both the S2000s i've owned you could hear it, as well as the BRZ i had.

Exactly. I've heard MUCH louder trannies in G35/350z's. It's nothing.

Driveline Whine on M cars are due to its active locking differential, it's been a thing for many years and the topic has been discussed, ad nauseam, in the M4 section..
Forward to 6:15, this dude mentions it: |
