Hi all ~ new member here! I purchased my 2018 Q60 Silver Sport pre-owned last November with 18k miles on it. I enjoyed it since but...
Over the past few months, I have been hearing about some siren/whistle like noise when I hit the gas harder than usual. Maybe it was there when I purchased the car, and I thought it was normal, but it has been concerning me recently. Sometimes its faint, sometimes its not. I should note that I only hear this noise when I accelerate harder than usual. When I'm cruising or accelerate normally I don't really hear it. I've tried turning off the fake exhaust note (ANC/ASC settings) and it made no difference. I'm not sure what's going on, could it be turbos failing? I uploaded my video clip below.
I should also note that the previous owner seems to have modified the exhaust/muffler system. I'm not too familiar with car mods, but it looks like he deleted the muffler and welding the pipes? It does sound good, but is it done right and could it be the issue? Pictures attached for reference. I'm not very tech savvy with cars so I could use some help as to what I should do. Could the sound be exhaust or turbo related? Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance!
