Default drivers side humming noise

I have a 2024 LT1 with 10k miles on it. Off and on, in the last 6 months, I can hear a slight hum and or vibration on the drivers's side. It usually starts with acceleration after going over a bumpy road. It's been to the dealer multiple times and they have replaced the drivers door speaker and the front dash speaker to no avail. It still hums. Anyone else had this problem?

Do you only hear it when the car is moving?

Have you made any mods to the sound system?

Can you tell if its even coming through the speakers?

The car may have Active Noise Cancellation. It is described in the Owner's Manual, the Service Manual, and on the Bose site. No one has ever reported any benefit from it, but some who have made mods to the sound system have encountered issues with sound that are eliminated by disabling the feature. I suppose its possible that the noise you hear is caused by the feature - but is pure speculation. And if you have not made any mods - it should not cause it unless its not working right.

it is relative easy to disable but required removing one of the door panel, either one, it does not matter. There is a "noise cancellation microphone in the door. Just disconnect one one them. The system will recognize its disconnected and disable the feature. It may or may not create a code that can be seen with a scan tool, but it will not cause a CEL to light and its harmless.

No mods, I can only hear it when driving. I can't say it's definitely coming from the speakers. I hear it when the audio is off more than on. It's possible that might be it but the sound seems to come more from in front. I will check it out.
Thanks for the reply!

If it is generated by the noise cancellation feature, that is functional (or disfunctional) regardless of whether the audio system is on or off. Not saying it is coming from that feature, but if it is, it would be more noticeable with the audio off.

To the extent to it works, if it works, according to verbal statements by Tadge, it meant to negate some undesirable noise when V4 is active. It is not to somehow enhance the music.

Thanks, I'll have the dealer check it out even though they are not the greatest at troubleshooting.

Just got it back from the dealer and they put insulation in both doors. The sound is gone and it stopped every little rattle and noise. I highly recommend this to anyone who thinks their car rattles and vibrates with noise.
