Metal dragging sound in low speed - 20 Yaris Hybrid mk4

[eatingbreakfast]

So I just bought the car 1 month-ish with Toyota dealer and had MOT with the basic health check. The seller mentioned just got it serviced 2-3 months ago.

 

I found that the noise is coming out when it’s about 15-25mph when the petrol engine first kicks in to support my EV. 

And will go away when speeding up or using EV only. 

 

It’s not those constant electric high-pitched EV sounds or brake pad grinding, or engine low-pitch sound,

it’s like a higher pitch metal dragging on ground/metal on metal kind of sound.

 

Does anyone have experience with this? I hope it’s a normal sound from the car

Any chance of recording that sound?

It is bit hard to record but I found another member got same noise from his yaris: 

In his clip, the noise started right at 00:00 then went away after and came back around 0:11-0:13... That metal dragging noise is not the EV sound and only happens to me when the engine kicks in.

As mentioned in the other thread you cannot hear any noise because of all the other noise (cars passing etc) you need to post your own.
