United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

4000 miles in my dynamic running on 22s

No droning, a bit of road noise but pretty minimal tbh

Only noise in mine is I can hear the air suspension filling etc when I corner etc.

Bit weird alright but I've just became used to it MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

A few years back I picked up a bog standard Audi 1.9tdi from Munich airport and drove to Nuremburg , 100 miles in exactly I hour, torrential rain, and was still being overtaken by Audi A6s, Mercs etc doing vast speeds.

Plus with a half full tank, there's noticeable fuel sloshing noises from the tank on braking.

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

Just travelled 40 miles on the motorway, with the radio off and driving a set speeds of 50, 60, 70, 80 + mph. No hum/drone at any of the speeds and no change in the noise level, at any of these speeds.
The only time there is the drone is either on the rippled concrete section of the motorway, (like the M5 round Birmingham, or the end of the M53) or on the cheap rough tarmac which is sometimes used as a quick spread over the existing surface. But both of these types cause a drone with all sorts of cars I've had!

So that is a draw then.

Two cars that suffer this and two that don't.

Still no real idea what is the cause.

Peanut bob and Bigpimp are ok, one with each main type of 22inch wheel. One an HSE the other an ATB.

Looking forward to what LR say about this.

I asked the dealer from where I've ordered my car and they have had no customers complaining of wheel noise on 22" wheels.

Wheel alignment. Wishbone suspension alignments should be checked.

Wonder what the fix will be, normally baffles inside the fuel tank which is often a difficult item to get at/replace. Makes you wonder how the car made it into production without that being noticed. Mark

I have also been affected by the droning noise. Just like most, it happens at certain speeds and with 22" rims. It just started making the noise a few weeks ago. I'm thinking it's to do with the tire wear, but it really sounds like it's coming from the engine.

England 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I have a similar problem, but noise at lower speeds, 30-40mph. I recently had my RRS service by dealer and they say it is tyre noise, which probably coincideswith me having two new General Grabber tyres on the front. Still annoying though as i keep thinking it is mechanical.
I am hoping it goes as the tyres wear a bit. 3.0 HSE RRS Stornaway (current)

Just an update here, still doing it, although you do of get used to it. But shouldn't really have to in a high end car such as these!

Dealers i have spoke to know of the problem, but said there is no fix. Range rover tech support don't admit anyone has ever reported the problem. Even though the tech guy they send out agrees with me and then writes a report to my dealer to look at it, who have already told me there is no fix.

Dead end with it all really…

Still love the car overall though!!

Got an RRS HSE with 22's on order. This sounds a bit worrying........but not entirely consistent...?

I boldly spec'd the £2K 22's when I first placed the initial order for the car. Annoyingly, my dealer pushed the button on my order without me knowing and one of the things I was going to change was the 22's back to the no-cost option 20's.

So now do I have a car with (potentially) great looking but terrible sounding £2000 wheels...??!! MY14 RRS2, Corris, Pano, 50/50 Cirrus/Black leather, Meridien sound, 22" Style 6's, Bespoke Gap around tailgate.
Porsche 911 (just left!)
1972 VW Bay Camper (cooled by the air alone!!)

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Bonatti Grey

I have done 7000 miles in my RRS SC with 22" wheels now (50% on M+S and 50% on winter tyres). The noise is still there on both sets of tyres. A bit less on the winter tyres as the general tyre noise suppresses the underlying humming.
The dealer reaction is exactly like stated above - i.e. they can't hear (wont't) hear it and when on winter tyres they blame it on the winter tyres and when on the M + S tyres they can't hear it. So dead end really.

I will put on a new set of summer tyres (not M +S as i have the set of winter tyres when needed) and will report back. It is really too bad that customers are sorting out LR problems at our own costs. Still love the car though!
