Yes the warbly noise certainly kicks in proper when you accelerate hard to overtake and is quite a pleasing almost refined sound akin to a tuned rally car.

Lower speeds however the noise is nearer the agricultural/truck end of the scale.

I think it sounds a little more refined at lower speeds when in sport mode but S mode gets on my nerves after a while as it hangs on to gears just that little bit too long for my liking.
