METROMAN Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hello people, Been awhile since I've been here. We have a 2018 Titanium with 30,000 miles that's starting to drive my wife crazy. When we start off driving, usually when it's cooler, we hear a buzzing noise that sounds like it's coming from the passenger side rear door, or the B pillar. It is also speed / rpm related and I'm pretty sure it does it while the engine is running. It's almost like the exhaust is buzzing and transferring the noise into the door. I've turned off the radio to rule out the small speaker in the door being an issue. Anybody else been blessed/cursed with this issue?

homestead Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Yep, mine does that too occasionally when it is cold. Mine does it on the driver door panel or the panel in front of the door. (not sure) Seems to go away after warm up. 2013 Hybrid SEL Edited November 14, 2022 by homestead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr08 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just to confirm, is this more of a droning type noise that only happens when the ICE runs under certain RPMs? If so, this has been well documented and is due to the Active Noise Cancellation system. There's a workaround to disable it at the tradeoff of slightly increased engine noise: I have had a 'buzzing' noise but rare and is pinpointed in the headliner right over the driver's head. Couldn't tell you how or why. Never heard an actual 'buzzing' sound anywhere else in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METROMAN Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 cr08. Thanks much for the ANC info. I recall the dealer doing something with that on our 13 model years ago. I'll do the procedure and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METROMAN Posted November 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Well I found the connector behind the dash and disconnected it. Buzzing is gone now. Wife is happy, skys are blue again. However, I hear much more of the engine noise now. I have an extended warranty through Ford. Might talk to them and see if they have a newer repair for the issue. If I find out anything, I'll let everybody know. Thanks for the help people! cr08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
