Default Engine Idle

Engine Idle

So I was outside my car with a friend grabbing starbucks, and he asks is your engine ok, I reply yeah I think so, He was saying it was making like a fanning noise I guess to describe it but sounded normal to me.

So how do your GS's sound when at idle from outside the car???

Thanks

Maybe you've been driving your car way too hard!

How long did you break it in for?

So from inside it quiet but from outside U can kinda hear it and when hood is up you can hear it. I thought it was normal before my friend asked now i'm unusre.

Does your GS350 sound like that with the hood up.

Thanks
