Default Highway Sound
I'm still new to the 450h family as its only been 2 weeks since I've gotten my car.

Does anyone else notice a weird sound that the car makes while on the highway? Kinda like a Jetsons space car...

I'm not sure if its the tires or the engine...


Any advice is greatly appreciated!
