OK, first. Loving the EV6 AWD.
We're learning a lot and so far, we've been able to either resolve or control the nuisances.
For example, rattle on the dashboard turned out to be the overhead shades which we "fixed" by stuffing in a piece of folded paper (quick easy fix).
Now for the query:
Has anyone else noticed a whirring sound when running the car in Eco or Normal with Regen not on Max?
I'm pretty sure this is related to the 2nd motor (Please chime in 2wd EV6ers if you also experience this!)

Here's something we've learned:
When Regen is not on Max and the car is in Eco or Normal mode then there is a mild whirring (grinding) sound that oscillates with acceleration and deceleration.
It is most noticeable in the 28 - 40 mph range.
It is an annoying murmur/humming/whirring sound.
However, put the car into Full Regen, Winter, or Sport mode and the noise disappears instantly, regardless of Regen settings.
So, the good news is, we know how to "turn off" the noise, just not sure if the noise is deliberate or not.
Because we know how to control it this is now not even annoying, but until we figured out the cause it was a nuisance.
Note: "Engine theme" sound effects were off the whole time during our analysis/diagnosis
Thanks for responses in advance!
