i have the same sound. Can really hear it in an enclosed parking lot. Mine goes away if I press the brake pedal.

Update:
Car just back from hospital. No cure but the doctors confirm hearing the noise as well. They mean that it is coming from the rear engine and are now doing research at Porsche / Audi HQ level in Germany.

I’ll get back when I know more. Any news from your tech guys mc9er?

They were not familiar with this being an issue but certainly heard it as well. They did not know where it was coming from and said they have never had someone else mention this before. Test drove another 4S they had on the lot, and we heard it in that vehicle as well. So maybe it is just normal? Or some cars are affected and others not?

My car was in for a speaker replacement last week and I put the squeaking noise on the list. The dealer has sold lots of Taycans and said this issue has been reported by other cars. They think it is in the motor and seems to show up in very hot weather. Other than that, no fix known. But it’s definitely a flaw.

Please check this video of the sound my brakes make… really annoying especially when in a garage or quiet street.
@NormF @infraguru @mc9er @J-One and others, is this the same type of brake noise you hear?

No, mine is a squeal while driving and seems to go away with breaking. It is not the same as yours which seems to happen when you apply the brakes coming to a stop. You are correct, an expensive car like this shouldn’t have that sound from brakes!

Thanks guys, unfortunately dealer says this is “Normal” as we have high performance breaks…. I know it’s probably right given all the reports of Porsche brakes Squeal/Squeak but never had this on BMW…

@bosch88 and @ThomasDK as you I have the Mission E on standard breaks, do you also have this issue when braking at slow speed? Can it be the reason why Mission E are not available on standard brakes?

I’ve never heard anything like that. Sounds like a horn!! Do you have the upgraded brakes? I know those make different noises than the regular ones (I only have the regular ones)

Nope, I don't have any noise from my brakes...

Nooops, that's not my sound either. Yours is clearly mechanical. Mine is most likely electric.

Looks like it has something to do with proximity (to the planters). Do you also have the duck quaking when braking without anything in front of the car?

I have a high pitch electric noise, very subtle, but annoying. It happened today and I have had the car for 4 days only. Is this normal ? It happens at low speeds when i accelerate or break, not when coasting. Are we talking about the same issue ?

I have the same issue. Can only hear in the enclosed or surrounded environment and open windows. Can't say it is dramatic but considering the car cost I am pretty much disappointed.

Thinking of showing my car to the dealer.

I have the same issue as OP with my e-tron GT. Exactly as he described. I think i'm noticing it now in the warmer weather only because i have the windows down a lot. Very obvious in daily driving with the windows open, worse inside a parking garage.

Seems like it's 'within spec' which is terrible. it's my only complaint about the car

100% my experience. Didn’t hear or think about it at all during winter. Sun’s out now… windows down… back to the annoyance
