    I searched for a related topic with no luck. 2016 Tundra recently started making an odd noise under the hood. It’s loudest when first cranked in the morning at idle. Sounds a little like an electric motor whirring noise.

    90k miles on the truck.

    I am unable to upload the video. Not allowed? Any tips on that?

    power steering pump maybe? does the noise change when you turn the wheel? sounds a bit reminiscent of when one of my other cars was low on power steering fluid

    Turning the wheel doesn't change the noise. I did check the ps fluid level. It was ok.

    The gas pedal changes the noise upon acceleration.
