1.) Hmmm - wierd sound? Yeah, let me look up in the book of GS engine sounds 'wierd'. Ahhhh, here it is - your flux capacitor is sticking. Try some 3-in-1 oil, and a case of ball bearings - everything's ball bearing these days.



2.) Try to hear it for yourself, so when you take the car in to have a service, you can have a technician ride along with you so you can demonstrate the sound to be looked at.

Look, I hope my sarcasim this cut you too deeply, but when you post a question like "What is this wierd sound......?", it's next to impossible to guess an answer. Try being as specific as you can so we can try to help you.

haha dex, you are bad

it's a very mild "thump" / "hump" sound, but not like the sound you hear when you gun your car
