Hi everyone.

I bought a 1.2 90 Match pre reg back in October and since then I've noticed that at idle and at low speeds if I don't have my music on too loud that the car repetitively makes a noise that I can only relate to the noise of a cat meowing

The fact that it's been happening since I bought the car tells me nothing is wrong but I just wanted to know whether other people have had a similar noise as it's actually quite noticeable when I'm sat still at lights or in traffic if the music is off.

However, as far as I'm aware, the noise isn't noticeable from the outside.

Is it there with the fan turned off?

Did you check that?

Now that is weird, do you think that Tesla use fish paste in their glues? I've just spent 20 minutes or so watching Tesla related youtube videos!

Well, did switching the fan off change anything?

I haven't had a chance to get out in it yet. I'm going out later so will report back whether turning the fan off yields anything.

Only just remembered about this thread... Turning the fan off didn't result in anything and I have my car booked in next Wednesday for 'investigation'. I managed to film the noise.



The noise varies in severity and I have been able to put up with it but I've finally come to the end of my tether with it. Just hoping I don't get fobbed off by the dealer next week.

That’s a strange noise. Almost sounds like the window wiper motors running
