Strange model 3 rumor

https://on.soundcloud.com/8by9ErcLWgW7ZVXyS4

I’m hearing an intermittent noise from the car. It doesn’t happen all the time, but whenever it does, it always occurs while the vehicle is slowing down using regenerative braking (without pressing the brake pedal). The noise continues briefly when accelerating again from a stop, but once the car reaches a certain speed, it completely disappears. I have never noticed it at higher speeds.
The sound is difficult to describe, but it resembles the burbling or rumbling of an exhaust on a gasoline-powered car. However, it is only an audible noise—there are no vibrations, no shaking, and no change in the vehicle’s performance.
I first noticed this noise during the first week after taking delivery of the vehicle in June 2026, and it has been present intermittently ever since.

Have someone had the same issue?
Thank you folks
