Grinding type noise in Sport Mode in park

Hi, in park when I switch from any other mode into Sport Mode I start hearing a bit of a "grinning" type noise coming from the centre of the vehicle. If I switch back to any other mode the noise goes away. In drive no noise.
Anyone else experiencing this...
ST is going in for a diagnostic next week

Did you ever find out if that is considered normal?

Good luck trying to get a response from either one of them they haven't been active for well over a year on this site.

I think this is normal. I believe someone on this forum mentioned that it is the transmission fluid pump compensating for the quicker/harder shifts in sport mode.
