Anyone have any Idea what this noise is?

That buzzing sound. It happens during semi aggressive driving but will go away and then come back.

Heard it for the first time last night. Decided to take her out the garage for a little drive since shes been sitting for a few days. Didnt think anything of it at first but after driving for a few minutes the car lost power and I got the Engine Malfunction error. Turned the car off let it cool down and I got the same result. The message has gone away but now I do have an increased emissions error message come up which I'm sure has something to do with my test pipes which were installed less than a month ago(never had a check engine before because i also have the BMS fix)

I havent tried adjusting the BMS fix as of yet, but I will in the next few days, also have made an appointment at the dealer to have them check it out in a week. They havent given me an issues with my Test Pipes yet and im hoping they don't this time around!

Any help is much appreciated.

Lol, hopefully it wasn't serious, but definitely post up what the issue is so it could potentially help another member down the line.

According to my service advisor its a brake sensor that was causing the problem. He said hes seen this problem before with our cars. Solution is to put the car into drive, and pump the brakes twice. If that doesnt work then the sensor has to be replaced. Havent tried it yet but will this weekend and let you guys know
