High pitch noise coming from passenger side

NRGSwing

I suspect if this were it, turning off SRM would kill it, but it doesn't. Commonality for all posters here seems to be nav, so it's likely related to nav system or music box, but the in gear vs out of gear part has me stumped.

I don't have nav. Also, I'm not sure that the problem discussed at the beginning of the thread is the same one we're talking about.

I have the noise too, it's high pitched and constant, does not change with RPM, etc.
sounds like the ringing that you hear after coming out of a rock concert. I noticed it more after driving for awhile, it gets louder. Probably b/c every electrical component has warmed up. It's definitely electrical. I thought it was the HID lights, but it's still there if you turn the lights off. It's coming from right under the dash somewhere, but have not been able to pin point it. Might be a grounding issue or wire shielding issue of some sort. Another problem I have is that when my cell phone is in the center console or cup holder, I get the dreaded chatter through the speakers, just before receiving a call or text message. So I know their is a wire shielding issue there, but not sure if it is related.

I had a similar noise in my car. A high pitched whine coming from the passenger side. Guess what it was? My wife closed the air vent on the door. With the fan speed set to AUTO, the velocity of the air moving through the slits in the now-closed vent was fast enough to turn it into a dog whistle!

Check your vent and see if it's closed.

This problem happens only when you raise the RPMs. I turned my A/C and radio off and the noise still occured.

Maybe someone secretly installed a Turbo in the night????

Had my 2pm appointment today at a different dealership, and this tech heard it right away. After a couple minutes poking around, he got pretty close to the root cause, but not quite.

There is a "white plastic bracket" with two wiring harnesses connected. By applying pressure to the bracket mounting points and/or the wires themselves (I'm not sure), he was able to change the pitch and volume of the tone. It's not necessarily that bracket/wire causing the problem since there could be other connected components above. Even with a flashlight, the area is hard to inspect without removing the glove box entirely.

Next Thursday, they'll remove the glove box and get a close look. I'm optimistic that this guy will identify the suspect component then.

BTW, my car is a base sport, so it's not Nav related.
