Droning noise new 2023 SEL-R

[Artybloke]

I have, from new, a droning noise in the cabin. I hope someone else has experienced this, and can assist with the solution. I'll attach the Word file that I made to acquaint the dealer with everything I have tried and noted. The Conti proContact tire profile (see attachment) is very strange and may, or may not, be related. It was noted from delivery, and is not due, as the dealer suggests, from my having over-inflated the tires. Anything that anyone can think of that isn't documented in the attachment would be much appreciated. Thanks.

New pro txs have a long break in for that drone to go away. Mine took about 6-7k miles to disappear completely!

Thanks for that thought: only 5500 miles of drone to go! Another suggestion gratefully received was to tilt the mirrors to alter the airflow on them. I also see numerous openings in the front 'grill' dressing; one of which allows air into the wheel-well area. I am going to block all of them in turn, to see if anything stops it (and post accordingly). Thanks again.

I would be very interested to hear your findings! I feel that the car overall has got quieter as I have driven more. Or may be I’m used to it now!! But I clearly remember the tire drone for sure!
