Can't say I hear ANY whine from mine even with the windows down.
I do not hear it during acceleration when the windows are rolled up.

I do hear it during regen breaking when the windows are rolled up (although much less noticeable). This sound was there the day I bought it.

I do hear it during both acceleration and regen breaking when the windows are rolled down.

I am not sure how loud it is to other people just walking by. But I have seen some people look.


(I have very good hearing -- although my girlfriend would disagree.)
