HELP! Weird acceleration sound

[Bass Fool]

Hi all.

I went to drive my 2021 Big Bend this morning and as I was accelerating there was a whizzing noise, almost like wind. I have attached a video of me in reverse and going forward a little bit. It was in the negatives here in Massachusetts the past two days. When I drove it home from work last night at 4:30 there were no issues. Also there is a low tire pressure light on, but because of the cold temps I am not worried about it.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am going to take it in to the FORD dealership tomorrow morning ASAP.

Does it change with engine RPM or with speed? Did you check to see if it's coming over the speakers?

my speakers were off. and it was happening even at idle and not moving, just a slight "Wrrrr"

Ok, I heard the noise changing in frequency. Does it change with RPM?

just changes when i press on the pedal. I took it in and they said it might be a fan issue, it stopped when we shut the air off inside the car. I will let everyone know what they found once i get it back probably tomorrow. thanks,

100,000+ RPM. That little dude's legs are really moving!

LOL. Come to think of it I did see some little seeds when I opened up my engine on Sunday...

Update: it is a turbo charger issue

Is it the gerbil?

Is it the gerbil?

Ya know... it might be. i wonder if Ford installed themselves, get some cheap gerbil labor with high RPM output mentioned above, not a bad idea.
