I can hear a humming noise when driving my Max at 60mph+. I first noticed this after getting a new tyre fitted at the garage I bought the car, following a puncture (11 days after taking delivery!). The garage changed the wheel bearing after I reported the noise, but this has not affected the humming noise. Has anyone noticed the same noise? Is it just wind noise that I need to get used to? If so, it's not great.

I don't notice a humming noise. The only way to know what it is is to drive another ID3 to see if it makes the same noise.

What was the solution? We have the same issue, rattling noise coming from the right rear wheel. Dealership suggested changing the ball bearing - 800€ per side + service costs - but not even them are certain that is the solution.
Please share info if you have.
Thanks!

I have noticed a quite faint but noticeable humming noise in my facelift ID.3 which I don't think was there when I got in November. I mostly notice at lower speeds where there is less road noise and it seems to me it is coming from behind me on the passenger side so the rear passenger side wheel is possibly the source. I haven't taken it to dealer yet and am monitoring to see if it gets worse. I do wonder if maybe a pot hole (of which there are many) has maybe put something off with the wheel.
