I doubt that the mode has any bearing on the exhaust/engine sound, but just trying to help you eliminate some possibilities.

I have done that and it sounds quiet like normal. I'm going to check the airbox and other items to see if anything is loose. I don't recall hitting anything abnormal driving it home yesterday. The whole thing is quite perplexing as it's only happening in Normal or Sport.

i dont think the 200t has anything...

would be surprised

Actually the 2018 IS 300 (200t) does have the active sound control. Idk about the 16’ and 17’ IS 200t I would be surprised if they didn’t have it if the 18’ has it.
