2026 XC60 B5 Ultra. High speeds 75mph+ there’s a droning sound that sounds like it could be engine noise. Although letting off the gas or switching gears in manual mode doesn’t reduce the sound so I can’t confidently say 100% its engine noise. I have the 21” wheels but it doesn’t sound like tire noise.

I’m coming from a S90 with T6 engine that did not have this kind of noise at the same speeds.

Does anyone else experience this? Are these B5 engines just unrefined and noisy and high speeds? Or could there be something wrong with my vehicle? I’m kind of disappointed this expensive car sounds like an ecoshitbox on the highway. Not something I could have caught on the test drive.
