My new 2014 q5 2.0 is loud at 60 mph or higher

Extremely slim chance the noise is wheel bearings. They are always the loudest at around 45 mph and the car is way too new.
Never put your Q5 in neutral while rolling unless you enjoy loud bangs from your transmission. This has been documented from a few folks on here. I wasn't curious enough to chance it.

I'd call the turbo inaudible. And when you tell a shop "there's a noise" it always pays to actually go for a ride with the tech, so you can say "That's it, do you hear it?" and make sure they know which noise you mean.
Note for folks who never touched a tire: You should adjust tire pressure when the tires are "cold", the car has not been used for a couple of hours. And tire pressure will change about 1 psi per 10*F change in outside temperature. And just in case you let out too much air...you should be doing this where you have a way to put more in.(G)
The tire pressure pumps at gas stations can usually be set for a specific pressure, and they will stop pumping when they reach it, which makes life easy and keeps all four consistent. You can also buy "smart" tire inflator pumps for $30-40 that will plug into a power socket in the car and do the same thing these days. Much easier than trying to match all four manually.
