I noticed it immediately. Started out sounding like a window was slightly open. At first, it was most noticeable between 30-45mph. By the time I left it at dealer it was much worse and could be heard at any speed.

I would assume it would be new. I'll definitely ask about warranty as well.

Be sure to ask them as well if it is a Dealership service warranty or is Mazda supporting the warranty? BIG difference between these? Don't get confused. Just saying!! One is covered statewide and maybe outside the USA while a dealership warranty service is not unless it states otherwise and that is rare.
