Default Noisy compressor and engine

Hi guys, went yesterday to check the ONLY 6speed gray AR in my area, and the car looked good, but i noticed that the engine seemed a little noisy when the dealer turned in on and i was standing outside next to the car. Maybe is't a 6speed thing, maybe because the engine was still cold, don't know. Also, when i put it to level 4 and the car started going up, standing outside i could clearly hear the compressor(s), is this normal or is it just me? I really want to get it, but that kind of turned me off a little. Thanks for your input!

I don't really hear my compressor although I do hear the "psht" sound of the air if I'm outside

Default Welcome to our world. A cold ar sounds like plane's turbines starting up, that's 'normal'

for this car. You WILL hear the compressors, that's also normal, but once the air bags are filled (with air), that will stop. This is a relatively quiet car. If you're looking for Lexus quiet, or Toyota quiet, you won't find it here. You will however, hear one terrific engine.

I hear it coming from the back, lasts about 20 seconds. No biggie once you know what what it is.
