@TheUltraRunner- Exactly! That’s the sweet spot. Are you also facing this issue?

Hi Mario and rest of those who have following this post... So this morning I managed to go to the service center, remove the speaker from the central panel and do a test drive. The buzzing annoying sound was still there while driving in the Normal and Sports mode. Though the service center guys says they might have to remove the dashboard to check further, I did not agree with this approach as I was not comfortable doing this for my new car. Now this is where the twist comes... This sensible technician guy said, he wanted to check one last thing and see if that can be a fix. And guess what... his experience and intuition worked and the sound is now gone!!! What a relief. So the issue seemed to be coming from the outside Cowl top and he checked the Borne Sound Actuator area - I believe he aligned those wires, tightened the screws there, and fixed them properly, maybe even put a double side tape to ensure all loose wires stays intact. Did a test drive now and that annoying sound is not there anymore. I am going to continue checking this and monitor for any sounds and see if it's all good. Thank you for pointing me in this direction and guiding me with your advise. Much appreciated fellow Skoda lover Note: This post is specifically for Skoda Octavia VRS 2022 model. Location: UAE

Yes, exactly. By the way can you let me know where you got that image you shared from, That was really helpful and it looked precise. By any chance would you have links to any manuals or reference videos for this suggested fix?

Hi Sasha, This is my recent post on the same issues and we are having some conversations at the moment on this - If you do have any valuable thoughts, please feel free to share

The dealer has confirmed that there would not be any cost but the only concern I have is dismantling something that is fixed in the factory might not be perfectly fixed back, especially if the team is not highly experienced. Now having said that, removing the center console speaker cover and accessing these speakers seems to be an easy straight forward job without touching the dashboard. Hence I might try getting this done and see if I can get ride of this noise for good. Shall keep you posted.

Hi Mario, Thank you very much for your advise and the possible solution. Much appreciated! So this doesn't look like a DIY job and I am guessing the service team in my region will have to remove the dashboard to fix this, right? The only concern I have is, mine being a brand new car, if the service center guys in my region try dismantling the dashboard and check this issue (hopefully find a resolution) will they be able to fix it back just as how it was done in the factory. Your thoughts?

This buzzing sounds keeps coming when you accelerate and the RPM is about 1500. It disappears when you switch off the engine sound in Individual mode. Is this a software issue by any chance? Any thoughts from fellow Skoda lovers
