Intermittent vibration and noise

[Edge]

Vibration and noise is happening intermittently. What a pain (literally) in the ear. It's rather loud and irritating inside the CAB. Embarrassing to drive anyone. Need a fix! It juststarted this morning. 19,000 miles. Sat in garage over weekend. Started RAM this morning and it was very bad. It didn't matter what speed, it just comes and goes.

Your ANC (active noise cancellation) is acting up. There is a technical service bulletin to correct the issue. You can verify this yourself by disconnecting the harness from the amplifier under the driver seat. The other, much easier method is to roll down your window

Ummmmm it’s winter time here. Am I to roll down my window to see if it stops? What is the fix, or woul you know, how long it would take to fix at dealership? I have to get oil changed anyway, think I’d take care of this at one time.
Thank you!

Coming for passenger back seat area?

Yes, roll down the window a bit and see if it stops. The definitive way is to unplug the ANC module under the seat, it will disable sound from your speakers. Not sure how long the fix would take, its either replacement of the unit or a software upgrade

Thanks for the heads up! What's strange is that once I got back into my truck yesterday to go home from work, it ran normal. This morning it's running normal also.

From what i understand it is only the rear door speakers that use ANC, not 100% sure on that however

Out of curiosity, is this ANC system on all 5th gens or only certain trim levels?

Me too 2nd time - 12,600 miles. Mine happened on a 34 degree morning and a very humid 57 degree morning after rain??? SUCKS!

mine makes that noise once in awhile.. it's not loud just bugged me until I found what it was - the ANC. it only happens when in ECO mode and when slowing... switching to tow/haul turns off ECO mode and the noise. you can try that to see if your noise is from the ANC.

Mine happened about the same temp. Very strange. But I must say that it hasn’t happened since that one time. Fingers crossed! Good luck!

It hasn’t happened since my original post. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks!

Mine just did it again and its 72 here in Vegas . Didn’t last long though. I liked that sound back in 1980 when I was running open headers but not so much anymore

Does yours keep happening? Mine has stoped after the one time and hasn’t happened since.

It’s only happened full on twice. A couple of times I heard it faintly but went away. Weird??? Nothing in the first 16 months of ownership. This truck ticks me off every now and then but I LOve it kind of like my dogs and Oh... My Crazy Haired Wife!

 

[Edge]

LOL..... It came back, but as you stated "faintly". Yeah, I do love the RAM, we drive that around because it's so darn comfortable.

Turning on Tow / Haul does turn off the ECO mode but does not turn off the ANC.
