This is an interesting video of the Japanese Insight, with sound-monitoring/recording devices placed under the hood.
The video runs through different drive modes and their corresponding under-hood engine sounds. These recordings were done with relatively low (3 bar) HV battery charge, so represents the "noisier" side of the engine... yet didn't sound that unpleasant or loud in the recordings. Haven't seen anything like this done on the US Insight yet, so wanted to share.
(P.S. - wish the US version had the clock on dashboard that the Japanese version has!!)
