Or what about that squeaky fan belt we've all had at one time or another? You drove weeks with that whining belt noise? I doubt it, unless you lacked the time to correct it.

It's not so much what others think, it's the fact that cars shouldn't be making belt sounding squeak noises when new and not broken and that bothers me, the driver/owner.i

Come on folks, admit it...a Lambo or Ferrari comes pulling up next to you that you could hear from 2 blocks away. While you are busy drooling and wiping your mouth it settles next to you at the light. Now idling, the splendiferous sound of the engine is being drowned out by what sounds ominously like a squeaky fan belt. You know you're either going to chuckle, or cry for the owner.

Some things just don't belong underneath the hood of a car. A component that works as designed but sounds like a fan belt squeaking has no place in any modern vehicle IMO, especially one from a well established company like Subaru or Toyota. I expect that from a one-off company like Fisker or DeLorean.
Dont worry about !A bunch of stupid immature people here you can't win with them! Not even worth mention it
