Default Remedies . . .

1. Read your manual
2. Watch your video
3. Roll down rear windows to solve the problem

Completing #1&2 first works wonders for other small problems like this.<p>"I'm that Blue Menace in your rear view!!!"

Default It gets better with one (or both) of the back windows down a crack (m)

and, much. much worse with the rear seats folded flat, my ear drums almost popped taking my dog to the kennel on Sunday.<p>99.52.830vqms

Dial back 1 or 2 clicks on the switch will eliminate the droning.
