weird noises when on sport mode

[jessikerz]

When I accelerate it sounds like a weird robotic noise is that normal? I never noticed it until today.

Robotic?? I'll take a stab and say the IMA assist - A bit of a electric gen sound. But, need something a little more descriptive..

I don't know how else to explain it its just when I rev the engine maybe if I take a video but I don't know if it will pick up the noise

Or a sound bite if you could

I say we need more descriptive information to even take a stab at guessing your issue. You say you are in sport mode. What transmission? Upon acceleration? During cruising? While changing gear on MT? Radio on/off?

automatic Radio off upon acceleration like I said before

+1. I would bring it back to the dealer have them check it out. Have them test drive with you and point out the noise.

you guys should go out and drive on sports mode and tell me if you hear anything before i take it back.
