Not entirely accurate...the initial bark is loud, no matter what mode you’re in (even Stealth). How loud depends on several factors, including how long the car has been sitting cold since last shutdown, outside air temperature, humidity, etc., but it’s all just a wide range of loud.

Also, I would think starting the car before opening the garage door would amplify the sound even more, since the exhaust sound would reverberate off the door and walls. Cool that you’re trying to be considerate, though.

I take more of a “rip off the bandaid quickly“ approach...open garage door, start engine, and put her in gear and back out as soon as englne is under 1000 RPM and close to idle speed.

Best I can do...Fuse is pulled and none of my neighbors have ever complained.
