Got my Grenadier recently and from the get go my AC buzzes on highest fan setting. If I turn it down a bit it goes away, if I turn it back up it starts out okay but eventually starts buzzing again.

Normal shouldn’t be normal. Is it a high frequency shrill sound on max fan speed 4 or window demister?

Waiting for a fix.

Have you tried adjusting the vents to see if its one of the vents doing it, or does it sound like the fan? The HVAC in this thing is apparently a bit wonkey with sticking or loose baffles. I only get a slight wind whistle noise on speed 2 when set on dash only, while moving. it must be a outdoor vent seal. One wouldn't know it with the radio on 1. The only issue being, I like to drive in silence.

I get it on the low setting and a bit on medium. My sound is a high pitched whistle from the fan.

I believe the really annoying high frequency noise on fan level 4 is universal, pretty sure they all do that. First rule of Grenadier HVAC usage is turn off auto, second rule is don’t use fan setting 4.

One of the many unique experiences of Grenadier ownership (but I still luvs it).

This is a common problem on the 4th fan setting. No matter the temp or vents in play. I use 3 only if it's really that hot.
