I have a 2024 RR with just under 5k miles. I'm getting a metallic noise at low speed as soon as I completely let off throttle. It's most noticeable at low speed and in 1st or 2nd gear. I'm not sure if it even does it at higher speeds or gears. It has probably done it for the past 500 miles or so.

It is reproducible when stopped. In drive or reverse, if I give it throttle and then immediately and completely let off, it will make the noise. It does not do it in park or neutral when stopped.

I've recorded a video of it for you guys to listen to. Listen for the noise as soon as the RPMs start to drop. You'll need the volume way up to hear it. It's considerably more noticeable in real life.

Does anyone else hear this is their truck? Is it normal? Maybe something turbo wastegate or transmission related?

I think ive had the same noise for a while. Sounds like the exhaust valve closing or something to me. No idea if thats what it is just sounds like it. Happens at low speed just letting off throttle
