The sooner you folks complain and bring this issue in to the dealers, the sooner Subaru will acknowledge it and begin rectifying it and stop saying "crickets under the hood is the super great modern engine sound we were going for". "All the cool kids will want it".
Have you ever even owned a car with direct injection before? ...do you even have one of these cars yet?

The sound is normal, get over it. My Speed3 has made the same noise for 2+ years and I've had 0 issues, even running heavily modified. It doesn't do it all the time, and there's no way to reliably reproduce it.

Also, if you actually bothered to read the thread, several people (myself included) have brought the car to a dealership and have been all given the exact same answer. Guess all those different dealerships came to the same wrong conclusion though, right?
