Skating sound

Hello everyone


I’ve got a 2022 V6 UK Emira with just 7k miles purchased today . When pulling away in gear, I can hear a smooth metallic noise up until 2k rpm, almost like a dry bearing rolling around. The sound is still there even with the AC switched off, but present only she. Pulling away. It’s a bit irritating and definitely sounds like a bearing but perhaps just normal ? It’s not loud enough to get on film

Like hard rubber skateboard wheels on asphalt or how do imagine that

They’re all like that. And it’s my biggest annoyance with the car

OMG how did they pass this off, I remember my Nissan 350z done similar but only when out of gear, I suppose knowing it’s normal makes it less of an issue but wow that’s terrible and I class myself as quite an easy going person but this is irritating

My thoughts exactly. The gearbox is by far the worst thing about the car.
