Hi guys, I've been driving my 2011 Panamera Turbo 970 for 15 years by now and have done so far 113,834km (71,146mi), never had any big issues except for some of these noises happening while I'm driving. They all started I believe quite a few years back but I've been done some traveling recently and I just can‘t put up with them anymore and I wish to find a fix. I wonder if you have any experience similar situation. Thank you!

(A louder speaker or headphone can play the noise a lot better than phone speakers, apologies that I don't have a microphone to pick up these noises that seem to be masked by the normal wind/tyre sound while driving.)

1. The dashboard noise video shows this buzzing sound came around the dashboard area whenever I'm driving on roads that are roughly paved. It sounds like some bolt or nail got loose and bouncing around.

2. The Engine or gearbox noise video, which I have absolutely no idea where it came from, seem to happen only around 30mph (50kph) and in 5th gear between 1000-1400rpm, it will give a sort of whistling sound whenever I accelerate.

 

It's hard to hear the engine/gearbox noise from the video clip, can't offer much help with that. It's been a cold winter so far, do you hear that noise all year round?

As for the dashboard noise, check these threads out. Sounds similar but they have the 971 Panameras. Possibly some slack wiring slapping against metal or a panel or even the metal/panel itself is loose......just my hunch. You can try applying slight pressure and press down on areas of the dash, vents, trim, etc while you're hearing the noise and see if the noise shifts or disappears.
