    In other words instead of the steady sound of locusts like a buzzy CVT, the hybrid has a traditional transmission sound: Brrrmmm (shift) brrrmmm (shift) brrrmmmm. Here's all the ones I know about:

    Manual hybrids:
    Insight G1, Civic G1, CR-Z

    Auto hybrids:
    Accord G1 (planetary gearset)
    Fit G2 (electronic shift gearing)
    Jetta (DSG)
    Sonata (not sure)

    The Hyundai/Kias use a step transmission.

    Whatever that means. Is it a traditional automatic with torque converter, or an automatic manual like DSG?

    It's a conventional automatic with a torque converter. Search for Shiftronic.
