Hi,
I just bought my XC40 and also noticed this noise, sounds like a flat tyre. Strange as it is only in heavy rain. I intend to contact my dealer on Monday. Watch this space.

Could it be the wiper blade hitting the bodywork at the end of the wiper stroke? So I take it the wiper is on the fastest speed and as the rain is lashing down, the screen to wiper resistance would be at its lowest, possibly causing the issue?

Do you have a sunroof ?
If so, in heavy rain at motorway speeds the water drain vents can start to make strange noises.

I will check the wipers and the sunroof as soon as I get back on the motorway ...and in heavy rain.
To bad it is a few days dry now.
Will report as soon as I get more information.
Thx for the help and suggestions.

This is a known fault with sunroof. Your dealer should be aware of it and fix it FOC - mine did. 68 T4 Inscription.
