This may be normal, but it sounds odd to me because my other push button start vehicle doesn't make this noise, it just turns on when i hit the start button.
When I push the start button I hear a brief buzzing/humming from under the center console area, possible the undercarriage, until the engine is engaged. I'm thinking it might be a fuel pump priming or something but honestly it doesn't sound like a normal sound a car should make when starting up.

Sounds like the fuel pump issue many of us have had.
Got mine replaced and all I hear now is the ignition and the sweet roar of the VQ!

Wow... Ok, should have searched, but honestly this board is kinda cluttered. Next time will do. =)SalsAsianMike wrote:Sounds like the fuel pump issue many of us have had.

Acutally I hear the same thing on mine (just got my EX this weekend) and I'm not sure if it is the fuel pump. Youre right its more like a buzzing/wheezing sound rather than a hum. Sounds like a hard drive spooling up for the Nav.
Did you end up getting your pump replaced anyway?

The wheezing buzzing sound I just found out was th CD spooling to get the tracks ready if ever I pressed cd. So far don't notice the fuel pump hum which is good for me I guess.

I think it sohuld have topic separation like Interior, Exterior, Mechanical, General Chat, Navi, etc etc. typical forum sub-sections would really help sort this board out and willl make it more easy to read on a certain topic w/o doing a search. just my 2 cents.dividedhighw wrote:
