I can hear a slight whine that changes in pitch with acceleration/deceleration. Not sure if it is the motor or the inverter. My car is still pretty new with under 1k on it and 3 weeks old but I am very attuned to the sounds that it is making for obvious reasons discussed here.I had, and traded in a 2012 PiP that had a very noticeable high pitched inverter whine when in EV... not real loud but noticeable. The Rav does not sound like this at all. The Prius whine was almost like a very high pitched "whistle". The Rav4 EV whine is loud enough and noticeable even with the radio turned down low. I don't know if my Rav is making noises loud enough to take in to the dealer at this point but I am going in if/when it gets louder. We'll see!
