I'm confused as well about this. I think I have this 'whirling' noise whenever kW > 0. I certainly hear it when the windows are down or if I'm sitting in the back seat, but it is not overtly obvious. It doesn't sound like anything is wrong with the car. Are you saying you're drivetrain was replaced for that?
Yes. The sound was "external" just like you described. I could hear it best with the rear windows down, particularly if the rear passenger door was open too (I was moving something big down the street), and the loudest of them all is within an enclosed parking garage it echos off the walls amplifying the effect. Inside the car if you have all the windows up its muffled but still audible because the sound was coming from the drive unit underneath the car.
