I have this sound when starting the car... what could be wrong?

Never noticed before that it was so low. But today was cleaning the car on a closed space and it was loud.... could ir be a pump failure of any kind???

2017 rex, all seams to be working well

Regards.
Andre.

There is an electric vacuum pump that provides the vacuum needed for the power brakes. It might need to run when an i3 is started to evacuate a vacuum storage tank. However, I don't know where this pump is and whether the sound you're hearing would indicate a defective pump.

Does your i3 makes any kind of noise when starting?
