Buzzing sound, Ecoboost leak?
Good day everyone. I purchased a 2016 Ford Escape, 1.6L Ecoboost last week.
Around the 2nd day I noticed that the engine makes a whining/buzzing sound directly corresponding to the transmission rpm. I have asked other owners and get told that it's just the Ecoboost and the 1.6 is just louder cause of the direct injection.
Here are two videos I took to capture the sound. These are spot on to the sound level I hear in the cabin and outside. Outside we can hear the vehicle from some distance which leads me to believe that it's not normal. I'm still on the dealerships 30 day warranty as it's a new purchase from them (not a ford dealer).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Inside cabin
Outside noise level(normal direct injection sound?)
