    we just got our new 2020 LE.
    when we start out from stop in drive..we hear a low whine each time from the rear end.
    and hear the same when slowing the car down.
    sounds like a siren a block away.
    any similar experiences?
    what to do..pls??
    thx!

    Could it be the noise maker speaker? That cuts out above some speed, maybe 15 mph?
