    I’ve seen a ton of threads about the needle bearing going out, figured I would post this and see what everyone thinks. 10k miles on my 2022 SRD. It makes this very faint buzzing sound between 30-35mph.
    Its coming from under the dash near the driver side/middle.
    It doesn’t do it every single time I drive it, but it does it often. I’m attaching a link to hear the sound, you may need to put your phone to your ear. Hopefully the link works.

    Try it in 4WD and see if it goes away, if it does go away in 4WD then more than likely it's the needle bearing

    It hasn’t done it in 4WD, but it also doesn’t do it all the time in 2wd. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow so I’ll check back in and see if we find a solution - in case anyone reading this has the same problem.

    The dealer couldn’t find anything wrong. Just an update. I requested they tighten the flap guard behind the wheel because it was loose.
