Hi,

I have a new Macan (10 month ish) about 3000 miles so far. It's been 3-4 months that there is an annoying noise coming from inside and I can't seem to be able to spot it. It feel liks it's coming from the frame. It's on low speeds on bends/corners/bumps if you go over slowly. You can't ignore the noise once you hear it and it's doing my head. Has anybody had a similar issue on the car? It's something like this:

Booked in to be checked so I can update you all in case anyone interested.

Cheers

Had similar with my first Macan, very noticeable at slow speed over any irregular surface/speed bumps. I thought it came from rear underside of the car. It turned out to be a loose wiring harness within the rear tailgate connecting with the body panel as it swung back and forth.

When you get a noise like that, despite every other sound ongoing, your ears pick up on only that.
I had a similar issue coming from the rear passenger seat area.
Turns out it was a piece of trim that had not been fully clipped back in after the installation of a rear dashcam.
