21 explorer drone-like/rumble sound?

[Heligrin]

Just got the car (dealer dm.o with 4400 miles). Quick question! Do you guys hear a low rumbling sound ( almost like a lugging engine sound if you owned a manual) when driving. We came from a Mazda. I'm not sure if it's the exhaust or just the performance engine/how the car is supposed to sound? Sport vs normal no change.

Not present when idling or accelerating, but when we were on the drive back from the dealer on the highway you could notice it in the 50mph range. Sounds like a rumble/like a subwoofer is firing.

I think this is normal. But wanted to know what others thought/if other people have silent interiors.

There was another thread that may be applicable to what you have. Can't say that I've noticed it in ours.

Our build date was 1/21. We don't have what that guy is discussing. Cruising..no issues. I'm thinking it's the engine. When going from park to drive you hear the deep rumble like bass but it isn't bad.

If I'm standing still and switxh into neutral it goes away, but when I switch back into drive you can hear a bassy rumble.

Sorry, I guess I was confused by the part of your post where you said it happened during cruising at 50 mph.

I have it too, seems worse as you decelerate. 800 kms.
