We had -20C this morning and I heard this when it started up. It doesn't change when you vary the rpm. To me, it sounds more like a vibration caused by something not correctly isolated. It went away quickly enough. I'll get an audio clip of it some morning if it continues. I don't believe this has anything to do with the etorque as this noise seems to resonate from the back part of the drivers side engine bay.I have a 2021 JLUR. The engine is pretty annoying and I just don’t remember it being there when I bought it. Almost sounds like an alternator whine but I know it doesn’t have a conventional type alternator. I was thinking maybe power steering pump too but the dealer looked at it last week and said it was the idler pulley. They replaced the pulley but it did not fix the noise. Has anyone experienced something like that?
Edit.....this was a new sound that turned out to be just from the cold. Most every engine I have ever owned made some sort of groan or whine in the deep cold. This was not E-torque related.
