I have not owned a AWD before, however I expect the vehicle to be quiet
 
The AWD system shouldn't make any noise. Not in a Subaru or any other modern AWD on the market.

Ummm... wait a minute... so, when the vehicle is moving you get a noise that sounds like rolling tires?
 
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks Axman for the Kudos. Who in the heck is buying up all these Beans .I did have a 2001 Outback Legacy that we kept till 2005.Looked at the Forester and test drove the X model,but was not impressed. Did not really care for the styling. So opted for the 05 Cr V. Then are Subie bucks were going to start to expire (1800.00) starting 04/.08,Heard about the new Subie coming and went to the auto show Feb 08 and liked the new look. Dealer gave me a pretty good price along with free scheduled maintenance (3 Years) so-long 05 Cr V.. Good Luck on getting the 1 u want. Sooner than Later!!!!

The only other possibility is a defective wheel bearing. Have they checked that possibility?

According to Subaru, the Forester is off to "a great start". Per the Auto Observer columm here:
"Forester sales of 5,339 units were 49 percent over year-earlier sales of the previous version of the vehicle."

dealer did check bearings. Just drove car and put the car in neutral and turned engine off. Sounds like something on driver side .. Perhaps defective bearing or axil.. Subaru rep is going to look at car on or before 5/12. However , im not driving car so I can keep milage low.. Want to keep my options open. Have not read many post on driving experiance of new 2009 Forester..;

picking up my Camelia Red LL Bean 2.5x Forester on Friday after a long search and many test drives of the competitors. Just curious, does anyone know why the large sunroof glass isn't tinted? Also , does it have a tilt up feature?
Thanks for any info and all the past info. This forum has proven to be both very informative and useful.

We are still tire kicking Leg vs OB vs For. Just a couple of 08 Leg tourings on the lot and very few available province wide and no Limiteds in Leg or OB so no big discounts from dealers and given the lack of VDC they are a no brainer to pass up till next model year.
We can't get the PZEV here. They are introducing a Leg and an OB model coming in the next month but in mid level trim only. Subaru will probably wait to see how they sell and then expand to include Forester next year. A shame really, because if we buy a Forester we'd definately want that option. The Leg PZEV is still in the running for Sandra due to that option as she tries to be enviro conscious, but I honestly find it less car for more money next to the Forester from our needs/wants standpoint otherwise. I would be frustrated if we have to get a lesser car just for that one option but that's FHI for you.

There is another option: Get both PZEV and save thousands by buying in the US....
