I see you are from Denmark. Which dealer, Aarhus?

Mine has the same issue. A resonanating noise at a certain speeds. Took it in last week and the could not really hear anything but checked the front wheel balance - No issues. But it sounds like I need to take it in again.

Is this something that you have experienced getting worse over time?

Same here. It starts above 25 kmh. Monotonous continous resonating humming noise. It can be less or more pronounced with diffenert road types. Doesn’t change in different gears or drive modes. I had a loaner last week that doenst do this or much less, a friend has a gts and my colleague too and they don’t have it.

it sounds like something is not well fixed and starts to resonate. Now that I compared it to a loaner my car is also much noisier on the highway.

I did find that my right head light is moving a bit and the left doesn’t do this. I wondered if this might resonate.

I don’t know if this may be different because mine starts at 25 kmh and in this thread it is at higher speeds.

would be great if there is a way to solve it because I can not unhear it anymore up to a point is starts to frustrate me.

They looked at it earlier this year and said it is normal. But knowing 3 other Taycans don’t have it makes me think differently.

I can only say, in my case it was very clear that it came from the front left side, and it was a rotating problem. So in my opinion it could only be brakes or bearing, in my case.

Did you solve the resonance in your car?

i have same enjoying body/suspension resonance in my 2023 CT4S with 21” wheels, air suspention and 800 miles. New Michelin tyres for winter and NF0 for summer but the noise is there..

Noise starts from about 30 km/h, worst between 100-120km/h, geting more minor from +150km/h. Resonance is even worse in really cold weather like -10c. For me its seems related to intermittent vibration which comes and goes with road vibrations in to the car body, not engine sound. And it comes from the front of the car. Really hard to identify, trying with the dealer but no success yet.

The resonance is louder than the cars "sports sound" and a bit more high pitch.
Hard not to hear it when playing high music.

Anyone know what to do? Maybe wheel bearings?

No solution. It is still there. I think is it the tires. Road surface seems to make a big difference. Running winter tires now and with the warmer temperatures it seems worse. On my daily route they changed the road surface and the sound is much less. In the Netherlands on good highways it is also less. I don’t know if it is an engine component / gear that resonates and caused by vibrations by the tires? Or a noise generated by the tires them selves.

Recently id a test drive in an eqs it is so quite. No engine and no tire noise. What a difference. The engine in the Taycan at least mine is very noisy. The humming / vibrating is another sound next to engine noise. It really annoys me.

The difference in mine it becomes less obvious with higher speeds.

Like you mentions, seems like something is resonating. When washing my car I found that the right headlamp was just a bit more loose than the left. I can make it wiggle a bit. My dealer said it is normal and can’t be the cause of the noise.

I did have a loaner a couple of times and this had the same issue. I don’t know if it is just me being annoyed by something all Taycans have. Or is mine at the upper limit and do bother Taycans have the same but less. Probably the bad Belgian road surface also makes a difference.

Yes, bad roads make it worse as well for me. I have tried to change to 20 inch wheels and its a bit better then 21 due to less vibrations but hope to find the source and solve it.

Tested again today.

tested again today on a rough road and it really annoying. It is better when road conditions improve but still there. Tested up to 95 km/h. Seems a bit less when accelerating but at steady speed it is back. For me it is some kind of resonation of a not well fixed part. It has to go in soon for the 30.000 km service and to extend the warranty after 2 years. I will ask them to look for it again.

some insights. Did a test with my colleague with a GTS on 20 inch winter wheels and it has the exact same noise. And surprise the Panamera loaner on 21 inch summer also has it. Both in EV an hybrid mode. But in hybrid camouflaged by the ICE. Must be the tire noise on our bad roads. Even the i5 60 had it a bit. Time for silent tires ! Hankook?
