It's a very very annoying…
It's a very very annoying sound. we just bought a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid, and it makes this annoying broken-transmission hell-sound while backing up, and also when going forward very slowly. i.e. with the electric motor driving the car. Electric cars and hybrids were supposed to be very quiet. This is anything but. I am going to look into disconnecting it. it should be pretty easy to do.
