What is your question?
The issue seems to be constant when driving. The noise does not appear to increase with the rate of speed, again, it seems to be tire noise but I found it interesting that both of these 2012s had it. I test drove another 2012 but it did not have this noise. It was difficult to determine if the sound was coming from the front or rear of the car and it does seem to be coming from the tires or drive train. A guy who works on the cars at the one dealership said it could either be tires or wheel bearings. He said he had test drove the car (I drove) and it was fine - no wheel bearing issues. Again, the problem seems to be constant when driving and it was on both cars. The one car had 98,000 miles on it and other had 118,000. The 2012 I drove that had no noise had just over 105,000 miles on it.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing seems to make it better or worse. Again, the noise level does not seem to increase with rate of speed.
How long has your 2012 Subaru Legacy had this problem?
I'm test driving the cars, trying to determine which to buy, so I cannot answer this question.
