It's hard to describe the sounds the car makes. When it starts up for the first time in a while, the engine often revvs for a second or two after acceleration, but has no affect on the performance. This assists in emissions control. When the car is turned off, engine fluids are pumped for about 10 seconds. It's a sound you'll get quite used to whenever you step out of the car. Besides a soft vibration as the engine kicks on and off while driving, those are about the only noises I've noticed.
