New owner - crackling sound by drivers display

[Skiier27]

Hearing a “crackling” sound near the drivers display. This type of thing normal in the R1T or is that something that requires service? Thnx

Does it happen constantly, or only at particular times (hitting a bump or pothole for example)? Can you get a recording of it?

 

[Skiier27]

I mainly notice it when it turns on after unlocking. I tried getting a recording but it wasn’t that good so I’ll have to do it again. Still heard it after driving to work (about 8 miles). It’s a pre owned R1T that’s new to me since Saturday so I’m trying to figure everything out

That recording will be helpful - hopefully you can get it.

Don't hesitate to open up a service request with Rivian as well - if you can get the recording made, you should be able to upload it as part of the request process.

Yeah will do. Have a service request open so I’ll add that for sure

when turning the steering wheel? If so, thats a known thing. A spring or something in there dragging.I had it fixed once and it came back pretty quickly on the replacement.

I also seem to have one in the left air vent only when AC is on (like a leaf fluttering in there). Goes away when heat is on. Chasing rattles are the joy of having a R1!

Happens in park not sure about driving

Not normal. Too many possible causes. Could be objects in air duct that shouldn’t be there. Could be a speaker shorting out. Service ticket. Document it the best you can so its presence is indisputable and submit evidence with service request.

Is this the sound? Service says it’s normal but if this is normal I call it a design flaw.

No. What you have sounds more like the air compressor running for the suspension which is “normal” unless running excessively.

is it really from the front or just how you’re hearing it? The compressor sound should be coming from the rear. Do you use kneel mode?

 

[TTedP]

The compressor for the suspension will run at start up - particularly if sitting long or using kneel mode.​

just be sure it’s not running constantly and nothing loose.​

It runs for 10-20 minutes every time the truck wakes up.
