I've driven the Ioniq 5 and I can easily hear a high pitched motor whine at speeds between 45 and 60 mph. I cannot hear any noise below 45 or above 60, other than the intentional pedestrian warning sound.

I suspect as I age my ability to hear such high pitched whine will be gone.

Motor whine isn't a weird sound and it's unsurprising Hyundai doesn't have an FAQ page to explain it.

I suspect many of these noises are due to Tesla's notoriously poor build quality.

I agree it isn't weird but it bothers me much more than the engine noise of an ICE car.
