I just bought a 2015 about a month ago and noticed a funny noise when I pass through 10mph. It's almost like a soft grinding/buzzing from under the car and only lasts about one second, then its gone. It also only happens after the car has been sitting for a few hours; I can't get it to do it twice in a row. Any thoughts on what this might be?
 
Both the ABS ( anti-lock braking system) and the VDC (vehicle dynamic control) perform a self test when first accelerating to 3-6 MPH according to owners manual on mine its about 15KPH. May accompany noise,vibration or clunking. This is normal.
 
The ABS self-test usually feels like a slight clunk and is in the manual. See http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=378223#p378223
