A guy I know did a similar thing in an Alfa GTV and managed to video himself running into the back of a truck in the Adelaide Hills! ROTFL

It was screened on funniest home videos a few years back.

i just noticed that too..

two things i reckon:

may be the video camera mouldings creaking next to the mic

could also be how the camera's crappy inbuilt mic picks up the turbo fluttering on lift off (if the XR5 even does this?...)

probably just some sort of interferance...
