Eh in 7 years plenty of other things on these cars will be making noise too. I don't tend to care what people around me think of my car, mechanic or not. So if the noise is truly normal then why would I care about it?

Oh and if you look at my cars you'll probably realize I don't keep cars for just a few years, unless I'm not happy with them (like the s2k). I don't see that happening with the BRZ.
