Interesting...I've never noticed it at any speed.
The only noise worth mentioning is tyre noise

Put a dog or 18 year old in the car. Hopefully they'll be able to hear the whine. Also try this with Holden volt in "HOLD"en mode. Ooh I love the wordplay Whine in volt is on acceleration and deceleration This also goes for the Prius. Seems to come from the centre console in the volt 45-50mph 2min 40secs into Consumer Reports Review. I knew I wasn't the only one. www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4597

I have hearing ability to 25.5Khz so I can easily hear dog whistles and CRT TVs. Yes I can hear the whine in the leaf,it's from the big transistors switching around 16KHz. To me it sounds fantastic!! I traded in a 5.7L V8 Holden statesman for my LEAF and I will take the futurestic whine from the leaf over a V8 any day!! It sounds like a turbine jet!!
Weeeeeeeeee

I can hear the whine in the Volt and imiev as well. I'm about to drive a BMW i3 tomorrow so I'll see if I can hear it whine as well

it's not the whine when accelerating that annoys me as much as when regenning in the volt and prius. but of course the volt and prius are quite similar even to the fact that the volt allegedly shares the similar planetary gearbox as the prius and is a parallel hybrid in 1 of its modes.

I quite like the whine as Phil says it sounds like a jet. Pretty cool!

Well I test drove the BMW i3 and I couldn't hear any whine. Car felt cramped and silly. Too much power as well. So glad to hop back in the leaf. So much better than the BMW

Yes power is why I have speeding ticket already in bmw Steering is a bit light. But leaf steering is like Prius steering lighter even.
