I have yet to hear this noise. Hopefully, it is not a sign of things to come.

There is so much sound insulation and at a pitch some ears may not be able to here. If you have a hybrid, it's characteristic.

I actually like that noise! I can't help it.

I hear it when I'm stopping from maybe 10 or 15 mph (I never paid that muct attention) down to stop. I assumed it was from the regenerative braking system.
