Normal, i don't know what this noise is, but most the cars i drove with automatic transmission have something like this after started moving (especially after a cold start in mornings or car idled for extended time). I believe it is something to do with the transmission engaging or disengaging something.

Nothing to worry about

Every 15 seconds fixed interval ar....

Could it be the magnetic clutch engaging the air conditioning compressor? You may consider observing with the hood up this weekend and observe any noise when you press the AC button on the dash.

You cornered too hard and for too long. The oil got sloshed away from the oil feed hole due to the cornering G force, so confirmed this is a wet sump lubricated system. This error shows means that the too little or totally no oil got into the oil pump, can be destructive as engine oil not only serve to lubricate, it is also a secondary coolant for the moving parts that are in touch with the engine oil.

Try not to do that again as this will damage those parts that require lubrication. If you're driving a turbo unit, even higher risk of damage.

Please take note.

Another way to avoid this is to modify for a dry sump unit, but will definitely cost a lot as there's still no standard after market products and need to customise.

I own the mazda, can tell you that wind noise on par, just that tyre roar is loud.

2 main factor :
1) OEM tyres, performance type
2) Arch dampening not good

Also, the larger tyre with lower tyre height, less "cushion" to isolate the noise. I also suspect the suspension bushings could have a slight blame. But the handling is

You can request to view the allocated car before proceeding for registration, then you can check and raise any issues you find. Washing is actually fine, you can request them to not polish for you. I remembered the first time I checked on the car allocated to me, it looked like it encountered a sandstorm along the way, seriously thick dust.

So it is better that you tell your adviser to NOT NOT NOT, JANGAN, TAK BOLEH, NAI, BUYAO to register the car. Once registered, got a super long process to reject and even got issues, they'll just offer to fix for you even you feel tak syiok because the car wasn't in pristine state.

Any case, congratulations on your new ride.

Changes in production line doesn't happen fast, as we hope to. Every single little change means rewriting working procedures and also at least another cycle of evaluation and testing. So manufacturers will prioritise those complaints that are critical and prevalent. Small issues could be put aside and consolidate all the updates during the facelift.
