Just took delivery of my R1T last Wednesday (I'm in NH) and everything has been great so far. Except today I noticed an incredibly loud white noise when I put it in gear.

Is this a pedX sound or something wrong with the truck? Anybody have info on this?

Yeah that's required by law. The latest software update 2022.23.03, released on 30 June, reduced the volume considerably - check to see you have the latest software.

Wierd I'm still on 2022.19.03 and not getting prompted for an update despite meeting all of the criteria.

If the AC or battery pumps are running, they should be able to reduce the sound. Those things are LOUD.

It's noticably louder than other trucks and even had one person comment that the 'engine' was loud, not knowing it was an EV.

So o was finally prompted for the update and it went through. The reduced volume is WAY better. Here's the strange thing though, the original sound didn't start until after I had the truck for 2 weeks

Was that on a very hot day? My Tesla is not that noisy until the temperatures get up over a hundred then it can get very loud.

Yes, it's over 100 every day here in Texas. 100 is normal and we have two Teslas, the Rivian is much louder.
