Xc60 D5 droning/resonating noise at 12-1600rpm
Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and a recent owner of a 2010 XC60 D5 auto with 68k miles and full main dealer service history.
My only issue with the car is a droning / resonating noise at 12-1600 rpm which is not roadspeed related and occurs at the same rpm in each gear. It seems to disappear on acceleration or deceleration. I took it to my local Volvo main dealer for a recall and to assess the droning issue, they reported that the tyres were worn unevenly and castellated so I replaced with new all round resulting in no difference to the noise. Any help with this issue will be very much appreciated, thanks in advance, Phil Last edited by Samol100; Jun 16th, 2021 at 09:13. |

I had a similar problem on my 2015 XC60. It was there for a couple of years and the dealer couldn’t hear or detect it, but it was there after driving for a period of time. I turned off the A/C and the noise stopped. If I stopped the engine it would take a long time for it to start again.
Eventually I managed to get one of the technicians to hear it and it was a noisy Air Conditioning Compressor. Replaced under warranty and all has been good since then. Fingers crossed. I totally understand that the problem that you are experiencing may be nothing to do with the A/C, but at least it will eliminate it, if it makes no difference to the sound you are hearing. Bob

Thanks for that, I am pretty sure that it occurs when a/c is on or off but I will give it a try.

I would remove the auxiliary belt and check all of the pulleys including the alternator clutch pulley which could be a prime candidate.
I would also drive around without the belt for a short while. If the noise goes away, it's auxiliary pulley related.

You mentioned castellations on the tyres, this could be tyre choice, some think directional tyres are responsible of this, but I would have tracking checked along with inspection of bushes.

Thanks for all the suggestions, tracking was checked when tyres replaced last week.
I have been out in the car today and noticed that there is a very slight vibration felt when the droning occurs,I'm thinking that it is associated with the drive train somewhere, strange that it only happens within a certain rev range. |
