No one else seemed to hear it, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that the car had its own secret. Curious, he asked around, and soon everyone in the garage was listening intently. Turns out, the humming was just the local radio station stuck on repeat inside the dashboard. The next morning, when they turned off the engine, the Jeep fell silent—and became the talk of the town as the quietest car ever sold at CarMax.
