Default What's causing a whining noise while decelerating?

Hello Everyone,

I bought a 2016 V60 T5 AWD 5 cylinder. A few months ago and it started to produce a very predictable sound while decelerating. I'll be going above 40 mph and let off the accelerator and a whining noise, like a far off distant ambulance, starts. It ends around 33 to 30 mph. I just took it to the dealership and they had it for 3 days and could not figure it out. A field tech even tried and could not figure it out. He found another car similar to mine and was able to reproduce the sound it that car too. He then told me it was normal for this car. Is this true? Anyone else have this sound? It is a slight annoyance as it doesn't seem to affect the performance of the car.

Thanks,

My 2012 s60 just started doing the same. Before I take it to the dealer, did you get any more explanation or outcome? Thanks, KH

Default Fixed, bad right front wheel bearing

I had the same issue, the noise would come and go at around 41-30 mph, took a video clip of the noise and shifted the transmission up and down in gears with no change in sound and changes in motor rpms made no difference, I figured it was a universal joint or a wheel bearing, after telling the shop and showing the video, they figured out that the right front bearing was bad, sometimes turning the car slightly in that speed range would make it start consistently.
