My new Prado FY21 makes anoying turbo noise when engine is cold. My previous FY18 did not make that sound. I wonder if it is normal for new models as they have a bigger Turbo or I should check with Toyota service.

I'd probably listen to another one at the dealership , and its worth mentioning anyway in case it plays up down the track -
I’d be getting it checked. Mine is super quiet. In fact can’t hear it at all.Comment

Thanks for the response I will check with the service. Trick is that the noise will probably go away after the car is driven to dealer. I recorded the noise on video though.Comment

Just booked a service with a dealer to leave the vehicle at dealership over night so they can check in the morning when engine is cold. Lets see how it unravels.Comment

Discussed with Toyota dealer yesterday and they calimed that sound was normal but they could not explain what it was. There were not any other Prados at the dealeship at that time to compare.
I recorded the sound - after revs go down a whistling sound can be heard and it is coming from Turbo area. It sounds as a fan is slowing down.

As I posted previously my 2018 did not produce that sound. It had a higher pitch rough injectors sound when it was cold but no whistling fan sounds. This sound is driving me crazy as it likes a driving an "electric drill".
I wonder if other cars have the same "feature".
