HIGH PITCH NOISE IN CAB WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE

[oc6gen4runner]

Hey guys I have a TRD ORP with a hybrid, there’s a somewhat obnoxious high pitch noise, like a beep or ring. Has anyone else heard this?

Yep, open up your center console storage and put your ear in there…you’ll hear it even louder. I swapped my hybrid for a gas model b/c it was so obnoxious. There’s an inverter placed just underneath the center console storage area that seems to be the culprit. Put in a complaint with Toyota and they pretty much ignored me.

Holy s**t your right it is louder when you put your ear in the center console. It’s driving me nuts to be honest I want it gone, has Toyota recognized it as a problem yet

Not that I know of, but there were multiple people at my dealership that were aware of it.

I stuffed a bunch of rags in the center console and maybe it helped a little. I’m ordering some adhesive backed sound deadening foam from Amazon. I’m going to remove the center console and line the inside. I’ll report back if it helps. It’s driving me a little crazy.

I removed the center console and lined the inside with sound deadening adhesive backed foam. I wouldn’t say it’s undetectable but it’s reduced. The most time consuming thing was cutting up the foam. If anyone is interested I took video of the removal of the center console. I can edit them together. I saw a video of the Tacoma removal but it is a little different.
