That type of issue was exactly what I suspected with my 06 sonata.

It does not sound like an unusual noise or noise level to me! Rather, the
vehicle is so quiet in all other respects it really stands out. On many
cars, the same noise would be masked by others.

Given that, if the intent was to make a very quiet car, it is a defect in
design. Sure hope they can fix it.
