    I am slowly getting used to driving our used 2009 Prius, having used it now for just under a week (~175 km). For some time now I have noticed a slight stuttering noise while the car is on electric only. What happens is when I come home and go into our underground parking lot the car stays on electric power as my speed is less than 15 kph. As I back slowly into my spot (speedometer at 0) and the drivers side window open, I hear a slight sputtering sound from underneath. Could this be from component other than the electric engine as you know it makes very little sound and if so is more smooth.
    TIA
