Does your 2021/2022 F150 exhibit a "whine" that undulates with engine RPM?

[Blue22]

Above is a video of mine from today. Hopefully it works ok. I can't accept this as "normal".
It's definitely worse at low speeds with the windows open, but still not right.

Mine whines but not nearly as bad as yours. I always assumed it was from the 10 speed transmission but if mine sounded like that I would definitely be annoyed and wanting to get it fixed. I remember reading on here that some trucks were delivered with low fluid in the transmissions. You may have already had that checked but it might be a good place to start.

Can we actually check the tranny fluid? I'm not with my truck right now, but remember some Ford transmissions being "sealed".

That is exactly the sound my truck is making. It is also a bit louder when you are in reverse and back up). It's LOUD.

No whine on my truck with 13,500 miles, but I can say that the noise is not normal. Never heard that noise in my brother in laws 2018 or 2020, both with the 10 speed. Almost sounds like timing gears without the chain, same high pitch noise.

Its not sealed. You can check the fluid level, but it is not as easy as checking a long dipstick from the hood. There’s a *very tiny* screw-in dipstick only accessible from underneath and the markings aren’t as simple as we’re used to, either. It’s annoying, but at least the unit isn’t sealed.

This video is from the 13th generation with the current 10R80 (same transmission we have) for a general idea, if I find a 14th generation one I’ll share it.

Update for everyone: Interesting Read. We're stuck with the whine as it is normal. Click the link (and see image below) for more information:

Only 700 miles, but noticed it day one. Mine does it when cold at idle and other than that its really only noticeable like when going through the drive through.

My 22 has it as well. 5.0 engine

weird though that I have the 10 speed auto in my 5.0 mustang and it doesn’t make any noise and my Ranger has the 10 spd and no noise.

I’ve got 7500 miles on mine and still does it. I’ll end up probably with twin turbos and give It something to whine about then replace It with this one

I Have a 21 with the 5.0 it also does that wine but it doesn’t really bother me it’s not to loud

Mine does this I just noticed it going through a drive through yesterday. Truck has the 5.0 and 1400 km on it.

sorry i’m late…lol
not a whipple but it whines and so does my transmission

 

[SRHAGEN]

My truck started this noise about 4000 miles and has progressively gotten louder since then now 9600 miles.
The trans whine is a noise that’s gets louder with fluid temp change. After complete warm up the whine gets less noticeable.

Just noticed my brand new 2022 2.7 with 392 miles on it. All of a sudden started making LOUD pitch whine. Only difference recently Is I fulled up with 87 instead of 91 to see how much MPG difference I get. Otherwise its never sounded so loud before. Weird. After driving around noise settled a little bit but I realize this is normal and such. Every Ford vehicle I have had they always had some weird response like that. Normal, dont worry about it. Well none of other vehicles I had sounded like a wind up toy. This should be redesigned.
