Welcome to the site !! \:D/

I did not hear anything abnormal .... maybe if you had the microphone closer to the engine (or wherever you think the noise is originating) I may hear something different , but I did not hear anything of concern at least from the rear/muffler ....or at least nothing of what the mike picked up ... 8-[

Maybe try again with the mike close to the sound origin
