When you purchase a new car, do you listen out for any sounds, unfamiliar sounds? You might say that I'm a bit paranoid here, but if something sounds odd to you, it might be either normal, or an indication something is not right.
When starting off, we hear that inbuilt tone that goes away once you exceed 25mph. Starting off slow and increasing speed very gradually, I notice an odd sound between 20 to 25mph. It almost sounds like a scratchy sound. That might not be a good example of what that sounds like, but a different sound is present. It's there every time I start off. Try it, and see if you notice it. Turn off your audio and fans so you can hear better.
While driving along the highway yesterday holding my speed at around 65mph, I noticed a sound that just became noticeable one would most likely associate coming from an electric motor. As soon as I slightly reduce speed, the sound went away. It's present/noticeable only at higher speeds, and stops as soon as you slightly reduce pressure on the accelerator. Mind you, it's not present all the time.
OK, I know you are most likely thinking I'm being a bit paranoid, but they are noticeable. I just want to know if these odd sounds are normal or not. Thank you for your understanding, and if I gave anyone a moment of laughter, I'm pleased.
