Hi all. New to the forums bc of this particular issue. I have this grinding, metallic sound coming from what seems to be my drivers side when accelerating. Can't really pinpoint where exactly but seems to be below the dash on the left side. I got the car in January and don't recall hearing it off the bat. Now I can't not hear it. I took back to the dealer and sent them videos band they said everything is fine but I'm not sold. I attached one of videos with the sound. Turn up the volume and you'll hear it. Any one else have the same sound??

I hear it. Sounds exactly like my 2022. Ridclous that Ford would make cars that sound this terrible. They seem to offer little support to fix it. Be prepared for dealers gaslighting you and telling you it’s “normal.”
Yup. Already got that from them and they gave me a print out description of the noise and how it's normal bc of the turbo or some bullshit like that. Their paperwork isn't what the sound is. This is crazy though. I can't unhear it when I drive and it's aggravating bc I really do love the car.

I must be getting freaky ng old and not hearing the high frequency band that's in you guys cars. I'm sure it would be different in person. Put it in eco mode and tell me if it gets louder.

Hi there, Bryan! This definitely doesn’t sound like the experience we want you to be having. If you'd like to, go ahead and send a message to us with your VIN and the name & location of dealership. I’d be happy to look into this for you. Thank you!

My 2022 BL sounds like this. It's the turbo as far as I can tell
