Motor noise

How much motor/gear/drivetrain noise do your cars make? I believe one (or both) of the motors in my car is/are getting noisier over time. You can very clearly hear gear noise proportional to the car's speed. Doesn't matter if you're accelerating, coasting or slowing down with regen; the noise is always there. It's also more easily heard with the windows rolled down (it reflects off nearby objects).

I'll try to take a video (with sound, obviously) so I can share but in the meantime, just wondering if I'm not the only one.
