Transmission Whine

Exactly. The same sound but I also advise to check the propeller shaft as well.

Thank you,

Hi Husam, I just got a 2018 G80 in the UAE, and have been experiencing the whining noise. The car is not under warranty since it is Korean import. Can you please tell me if you have the same sound as this video, and how much did the dealership charge to replace it?

I went to the dealer, and they said it's the transfer case, but that it's of no major concern. My car is an AWD version, and they said since it's a Korean import, they don't have the parts readily available. By changing the differential, is the sound completely gone for you?

Yes, in my case the sound was gone completely.

I'd recommend you add Anti Slip additive to the diff first. Try something like Amsoil Slip Lock and see how this works out for you.
