Electronic Motor Noise when accelerating?

[Nishizawa]

Alright guys I’m not sure how to explain it but anytime I accelerate slowly, I can hear from the front of my car a very subtle sound that compares to the sound a small toy motor makes when you wind it up. It is not a whining type of noise but the noise correspond to how much I accelerate. It almost sounds like an electronic motor.

I am unsure if it has always been there and I am noticing it now, or if it is normal. I haven’t had any issues with the car so I am assuming it is fine but I wanted to hear everyone’s comments

Thanks guys!

With the radio off, from the front passenger side area, I hear a faint clicking/tapping sound. The frequency of that tapping/clicking corresponds directly to my rpm. I've just assumed it was the high pressure fuel pump noise. Only have had the car for a few weeks, so not really sure if this a normal characteristic of the car.

Does it sound like this?

Go to 3:10.

Very similar progression but not as high pitched. But I do think it may relate something to it. I’ll follow up with my dealership and see what they know about. Probably nothing though, as per usual.

It could be the turbo.

It could be the turbo.

Should I be worried if that’s the case?

I would get it checked to make sure. The turbos on a stock cat are almost silent. If it’s a bad turbo they can replace it before anything bad happens like it coming apart and getting sucked into the intake.

did this noise issue ever get resolved? I have a new 2020 and am hearing the same. Seems like you can hear the tach spinning as rpms increase

I have a similar noise coming from the turbo. High pitch whine with only 8k. Did you get yours checked out?
