has anyone experienced high pitched noises from their engine bays when driving 45mph to 55 mph? It was a slight drone but now it has become unbearable.
I noticed it was coming from the engine bay and more on the drivers side.
I guess I can take the car in for service and they will hopefully resolve
 
Any possibility its coming from your driver side mirror? Try folding it all the way in and see if it goes away. I have high pitched "whistle" noise at that same speed you mentioned.
 
Thats interesting. Doesnt the car's mirror fold by itself? When I open the window, the noise sounds like it is coming from somewhere internally. Do you have any recommendations how to fold it all the way - like push it out more?
 
There is an option of having (button near armrest) the mirrors fold in towards body of the car all the way, for tight parking. Push that button while driving, and see if the noise goes away

Have you taken to dealer to resolve issue? I just noticed a similar noise while I was driving on the highway. When I let go of the gas pedal the noise stopped but seems to happen when driving around 45-80 mph.
 
Picked up ours the end of Feb and no, haven't experienced that sound.
But, along the line of noise making, this may have been asked before, does anyone know how to cut off the engine sound being sent through the speakers?. The GX isn't a big block V-8 and the sound can be annoying at times.

It was the roof rack. Air gets trapped in some crevice and creates a high pitched noise.

Here's a post that might help you: Disabling Enhanced Sound - impact??

I'm seeing other folks say it's in one of the menus but not sure where.
