Odd "wow wow wow wow" sound at 19mph..?

[ixo]

Hey all,

Just (finally) got a 2024 Hybrid Off Road with a bunch of options. Picked it up today, looks great!

Pulling up to my house, as I slowed down, my son and I both noticed a kind of weird noise at low idle speeds. I took the truck back out tonight to just putter around and play with things like the headlight tilt, etc, and noticed it more prominently. It happens exactly as I slow from 20+ down to 19 MPH, and continues until I basically stop, or get going above 20 MPH again. I made a youtube video hoping the sound would come though, and it does... it's not obnoxiously loud, but was enough for my son and I to both look at each other as we neared the house, and now that I listen for it, I can hear it every time.

Is this just the woo woo ghost I'll need to get to know and love, or maybe a larger issue?



I found one thread on another forum, but for a 2016: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/19-mph-whooping-sound-resolved.494527/

It’s the pedestrian warning speaker. Normal for a hybrid

wait are you serious?

Holy smokes, googling this now, I can't believe this is a thing... Thanks for the reply, this is going to take some getting used to, but happy it's not something misaligned or anything.
