That was for a single clck when accelerating.

Valdemar said:Was at a dealer for other reasons and had them check the noise today. It took some time for them to even notice it. They think it is the traction motor, but they said it is hard to pinpoint the source exactly so could be the reduction gear too, basically the noise was coming from the motor area when they lifted the car, so not a CV joint which is consistent with the symptoms as turning the wheels doesn't make the noise louder. Given a new traction motor is a $9.5k job the recommendation was to just drive the car until things get worse, which I'm going to follow to the letter.

Thanks for the feedback. In my lg v30 plus smartphone its so clear the sound and the noise " ta ta ta ta"! In the video give special attention in climbing from 1minute and 50 seconds. See in the motor graphic when i accelerate the noise appear and when the motor regenerate the sound disapear. For me is so clear...Thanks.

Lol, I can hear it and I have 90% hearing loss in one ear, and using crappy earbuds. :lol:
Anyway it does seem to match wheel RPM. I guess the gear oil is worth a try; at least you can inspect for any unusual wear metals. Just for shits and giggles, give the tires a good inspection. I have seen "similar mystery noises" arise from stones or other objects embedded in the tire tread. Or even from internal tire damage. For that last hypothesis you could try a tire rotation to see if the noise changes in quality or location.
LeftieBiker said:I tried again and still don't hear it. I have mild to moderate tinnitus, and maybe that masks it.

Ok, that helped. It is nothing like the noise my car makes as yours seem to happen once per wheel revolution and mine is many times per wheel revolution, so at the speeds you were driving it becames hum-like noise, individual clicks cannot be heard. I kind of doubt the sound you hear is reduction gear related, but you never know.
