Yes, I have.. Also due to the sound recording I did where it, to me, sounds like the noise is there in idle too. I'm not much into automatic transmissions, so I'm not sure if anythings is rotating/moving in idle inside the transmission?
However, it seems like the dealer doesn't really believe its related  |
I get that.
If you do hear the noise, however faint, in idle is the transmission in drive or neutral?
How about driving with the windows down in a quiet road or parking lot?
To me noises that seem to develop at specific speeds and seem constant in nature, I always suspect either the transmission or rear differential. I believe your service departments are simply throwing out darts in the dark to see what sticks and what doesn't. Changing tires and bearings to your heart's content is not goin g to solve the problem as evidenced by this discussion.
