Yeah, it's a weird noise. I'm pretty sure the sound intensified with the rpm. Didn't seem to affect the way it drove though, it had plenty of zip. I'm reluctant to buy one until I can be sure of the cause. From what I've read a lot of older Mazda 6s had the same noise because it's the same engine and people had difficulty working out the cause e.g., some would say water pump or power steering or transmission pump.
