Default Had a strange buzzing sound on a cold start this morning.

Sounded like it was coming from the engine. Was in first gear slowly pulling away and there was an odd buzz/reverberation like sound. Only lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Nothing else out of the ordinary and it did not come back. I had not heard it before during any other cold starts. Anyone ever heard something like this?

Yes. Car was in quiet mode. To be clear, this was not heard at the initial start. It appeared as I was pulling away at say 10 mph. Nothing was heard while the car was still or pulling out of the garage.

Loose exhaust part? Loose exhaust tip? Failing PSE baffle or bypass valve? Would be my guesses.

Did it sound like a metalic vibration, like heat shield buzzing?
I get something like that on acceleration.
Been meaning to have dealer look at it.
