What is with the LOUD mechanical noise Si makes at shut down?

OK, so I have to ask. Just like you Si guys, my EX-L has push button start and the electronic steering wheel lock. However my steering wheel locks and unlocks in complete silence. Only the electronic parking brake makes a sound. Why would the Si lock be noisy but the non-Si is totally silent?

The steering wheel lock on my Si is silent. For some reason assembly of the Sis in Canada seem to have variations car by car. Thankfully I seem to have gotten a good one. Smooth shifting and without any weird noises. A lot of the guys here on the forum aren't as lucky.

I just got a 2020 Canadian Si. What do you mean as far as variations and some aren’t as lucky? That made me nervous lol

i think it could be a recalibration of the wastegate actuator

What an old thread. The sound makes it sound kinda like a spaceship and it's pretty cool

Everyone...RUN to the dealer to figure out what is wrong with our cars!

I'd prefer to drive to the dealer. That's why I bought a car.
