It only happens when I apply pressure to the accelerator. The sound is coming from the rear, sounds like the right side if I had to choose a side. It's like a hum that rises in pitch at higher speeds, the most annoying speed being about 65 mph.

What could be causing this? I am still under warranty for about 8k more miles

axle bearing, carrier bearing, brake rub

just got new brakes over a month ago (rear brakes and calipers), and the noise was there before the brake change ... so maybe either of the first 2 things

wheel or axle bearing

sounds like a free trip to ford.

but they might blame it on who ever did the brakes.

i guess that means Flat Rock since the noise was there before i got the new brakes

then why even bother with figuring anything out...? demand it to be fixed, period. that's the luxury/beauty of a warranty, not having to worry about this kind of crap.
