2019 red sport 400 Q60 high rpm exhaust howl

Hi. I recently purchased a 2019 red sport with 50,000km on it. At high rpm, only under load, the car will howl like an F1 car. This is only when really getting on it. No performance issues, I’ve had it listened to by a Nissan mechanic and another really good tech. Both say normal exhaust note as the car has some type of aftermarket axle back on it. Looking for other opinions. YouTube sound clip : Exhaust noise normal?
Thanks

Upload it to youtube then post the youtube link
Maybe someone has better hearing than me. I'm not hearing anything that stands out as abnormal. Actually, sounds pretty good for just being an axel-back change.

Thanks for the response. If you listen towards the last 2 seconds your can hear it howl, it sounds similar to a an F1 car or maybe even supercharger screech. Note that this is only something I hear when I’m really giving it the beans lol. I just wanted to outweigh possible belt or turbo issues before my warranty is up.

Have the belt and the turbos inspected. If they ask if you're hearing any strange noise, tell them you hear a rattle during cold starts.

Anyway, it sounds normal to me.

Awesome. Thanks for the response. Were you able to hear the slight howl? If it sounds normal I’ll take your word for it 🙏

The only Q60 Red Sport I've ever really heard in person is mine with the Infiniti Sport Exhaust Kit (muffler delete).

Nope, this is the Infiniti Sport Exhaust Kit. "INFINITI" is etched into the top at the end of each tip.

Haha. I’ll try and get a better video to duplicate the sound.. it probably is normal, I just went from a problematic twin turbo Benz to this, so now I have anxiety.
Sounds normal to me too.
