[QUOTE="nicko, post: 28479, member: 9179"] My 2025 RS (stock wheels) has an annoying hum at speeds above 45 MPH. It's not the "rumble strip" sound others are complaining of at 1800 to 2000 RPM. My hum sound gradually increases as you approach 45 MPH and doesn't change with engine speed. It doesn't change either when putting the Equinox in neutral while driving. Someone on this forum had wheel bearings replaced which to me sounds likely given the sound. I suggested this cause to the dealership service department. I also asked for the Infotainment update. They did the infotainment update which gave me the Home Link Garage Door Opener and slightly better audio sound. It did nothing to improve the "hum". The Service Department admitted they heard the sound and said it was caused by the torque tube. They ordered the part and will swap it out when it comes in. I'll report back once the torque tube is replaced. I'm skeptical but we will see. My money is still on a bad wheel bearing but that also would be unusual for a brand new vehicle. (My daughter just purchased a 2025 Trax and her Trax is way quieter than my 2025 Equinox at speed so I don't think I'm being overly sensitive.) [/QUOTE]
