buzzing sound around the radio / cup holders?
can't exactly pinpoint this yet but for sure it's very consistent. every morning when the car is cold (and been sitting for 12 hours), when i get in the car and start, within the first 5-10 seconds, there will be a long buzzing noise coming from behind the radio or cup holder area. i don't feel anything is vibrating though. it goes on for like 2-3 seconds, then off, and usually another few seconds there will be another one or two short ones. after that everything is fine
when i leave work (warmer), i don't seem to hear anything at all.

Did it sound like a stuck CD? I have something like you described and usually go on for 30-60 seconds. Definitely not a cup holder related issue. I still don't know what it is caused from.

I had the same stuck cd sound, like a continuous spinning of a cd even though the cd slot was empty. Took my car to the dealer. Service advisor was able to hear it also. Had radio replaced under warranty. Issue went away. It's been about a month now and so far no stuck cd sound.

I also had the same issue rominl, next time it happens, try putting the car in neutral, or pushing on the side of the console with your right leg, it should go away.
They had to replace my cupholder assembly. They tried stuffing "quiet kit" padding in that padded trim area but that wasn't the issue. The issue is the cupholder assembly itself.

I have a buzzing sound coming from my radio area as well. Sounds like the cd skipping sound as previously stated. I'm moving to a different state in 2 weeks so I think I will wait until my move to get it replaced.

I had a similar issue, a continuous buzzing noise that was coming from behind the radio cup area, which would change frequency. Heard on start and shut down or when radio volume was low and parked. Took to dealer, had their top tech listen, turned out to be a cooling fan for the radio amp. Radio head unit replaced and problem solved.

mine is 2015 and this has been going on for a month (3 months ownership).
i tried taking out the cup holder divider this morning and closed the lid before starting the car, same thing, buzzing down. i can hear it right behind the radio. i tried pushing on the side panel too, didn't stop.
maybe when it's 5k i will have them take a look...
