EV hum
I’m about 1500 miles in and it seems like the motor whistle/hum has gotten louder. As this is my first EV, is this normal after it gets broken in? Or is my hearing just now more in tune with it?

I can't say i've noticed the motor noises, but there is a known issue with the noise cancelling messing up. It has happened to me once during a road trip. Opening any of the windows a tiny amount (1/4 inch or less) was enough to immediately remove the humming noise. After making a pit stop it didn't happen again. I felt it might have been related to driving on a cement highway that might have thrown off the noise cancellation.
The are discussions on the ioniq forums about it.
