    Car has been in garage for 4 hours. Temp outside 54 degrees.
    I've had Hazel for 2 weeks. 400 miles on her.

    Husband yells, what's that noise?
    See recording:



    It's coming from under the rear left side...I'm guessing

    I decided to take it for a ride. I went inside to get the key. As soon as I got near the car, with the key, the noise stopped.

    Your thoughts....
    I'm a new owner to the Prius world. Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply Boston Bisco.
    I've never heard this before, and it stopped right as a brought the key out.
    Just a coincidence?

    that i'm not sure of, since i've never brought the key out when it's happening. it is possible, i suppose, that when it detected the key, it shut down, in case you were going to start it.
