Rally Mode - car is louder?

[Tosh]

Had my Rally for 5 weeks now. Mostly I've been using Engage mode, but yesterday I chose Rally Mode. There was a noticeable change in the feel of the steering (which I expected) but also an increase in the noise level. I could feel what I describe as a motor vibration in my hands holding the wheel, and I when I stepped out of the car, I could hear what I think was the steering motor - about as loud as the 2 drive motors! I turned off Rally mode, and the noise stopped.

Are there any other Rally owners who have noticed this when using Rally Mode?

Are you sure it's not the "Propulsion Sound" that's normally enabled in the drive mode screen? I think Rally Sport mode automatically toggles it on, and it's in its loudest setting.

Yeah ... I had Propulsion on for the first 5 minutes after receiving the car then disabled it ;-}

This noise was heard from outside of the car when I was inside the garage but hadn't turned it off yet.

Probably cooling pumps, I think they kick into high gear to support high performance in Rally mode. Battery may also be heated/cooled to an optimal temperature.
