I replaced mine with an 8inch kicker sub.

Default Gx460 noise from the trunk area.

Hey all, I bought a 2011 GX460 premium with 100k miles on it. One thing I noticed is a weird whining noise coming from the back left side of the car (drivers side). I have pin pointed it to the rear left side all the way where a speaker is located. Can anyone help?

the seats are all the way down, and its not the fuel pump. not sure where the amp is located but could it be a fan on the amp if its located there ? thanks for any input

This happens with any power turned on, accessory power with everything related turned off and engine not running?

Changes at higher speeds so possible wind noise?

No its not that. So I went and started the car on again. The sound also comes when I press the on button twice, when the engine is off as well. any other ideas what it could be ?
otherwise it seems like I'm going to have to open the drivers side rear inner panel. Any one have any links on how to open it? im scared to do it since I just bough it lol unless i can solve the problem

Do you have the Mark Levinson? The amp & subwoofer in are in that area in cargo area above left rear wheel.

That's gotta be it, its either the fans from the amp or the speaker. Is it east to pry open and put back together ?

I have never noticed on mine w/ML.

I don't recall anyone else mentioning it over the years.
