Found something new, well new for me
So when I received my X5 back about a week ago, I've been noticing this high pitched squeal from the AC running on higher settings and sometimes on lower. Since this is right next to my left ear I also thought it was the sunroof or door maybe window. I narrowed it down while in a parking lot not moving I could hear it. With the car running, I got into the back seat and noticed very little air hitting my left arm behind the driver seat. I noticed the vent (didn't know there was a vent there on the pillar) was partially closed. Opened it up and squeal is now all gone!!!

I found it the second day I had it. I wonder where they route the air? In my ‘04 Touareg, it went through the front doors. That doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Good question, I was guessing up and over the door just due to the noise I was hearing sounded up high. I can recreate the high pitch squeal by simply closing the vent to almost closed... Super annoying just glad it was something simple.
