Default 2019 Macan S (high pitched tone?)

We have a 2019 Macan S that Is emitting a very high pitched tone while driving. It’s so high pitched/frequency it is difficult to determine where it’s coming from in the car.
Anyone else experience this?

Just got a 2019 Macan S a month ago and noticed a similar noise on my long drive home.

For me it only kicks in around 65 - 70 mph. It is a very high pitched faint noise, what I imagine tinnitus to sound like. It will briefly get louder at times as I take my foot off the accelerator. I don't really hear it on cruise control.

I've read a lot about an AC compressor issue but my noise is on even when the AC is off. Is this similar to what you were experiencing?

I've already taken it to my local service department, where they kept the car for two nights and took it on a drive, and they weren't able to appreciate anything (though it was very rainy that day and the sound of rain on the car would be enough to drown this faint whine out).

Oil separators.

They fail often.
