I raised the RPMs a tad - they were gone. Back to idle - chripchirpchirp.
I googled - bingo - lots of reports of the same problem - most pointing to the HPFP.
I told the service tech to have a listen. He initially said he thought it would be something with the exhaust. I mentioned the fuel pump - he said they had fixed that issue in the 2014s.
Anyway - after they changed the oil and listened - he came back and said - That's the fuel pump alright. We will order you a new one and get that in right away. He said it would get rid of the noise for good.
I told him I understood it wasn't a critical issue and he said - "Dude - it's a brand new BRZ - it shouldn't sound like a beater".
I couldn't agree more! I hope they really do have new pumps and that the issue goes away. I will report back after the swap.
