I've noticed a high-pitched whining / noise while on the freeway. The vehicle had less than 1500 miles when I first noticed, but it's likely been like that since it was purchased new in 8/2015. The problem seems to occur when the vehicle is in top gear under very light acceleration (not enough to down shift) or sustaining speed and the problem goes away when I let off the gas entirely (so it's not wheel bearings, etc.). I seem to only notice when speeds are greater than ~60 or 65 mph. I don't necessarily mind, but I'd like to know that it's not causing any long term damage that will show itself after the warranty has expired... and a high-pitched noise means something's likely rubbing where it shouldn't and causing gradual wear!
