My QV let's out a pretty loud farting noise on upshifts, especially from 2nd to 3rd, almost like it loses.momentum a bit on those upshifts from the farting upshift noise. Just wondering what everyone elses.experience is in this regard. I have a 2020 QV with 3K miles

The sounds we QV drivers hear from the inside, maybe with the windows down, may not be the same passerby's here. I don't know. I run with my Forza open all the time. NV
I have a 2020 and I know the noise you are talking about. From inside the car you are only hearing the exhaust vibrating from the popping, from the outside it comes out as a thunderous crack. Do it under a highway overpass and you will hear what I mean. This is a good thing.
Yeah, the exhaust sounds way better with the windows open than with windows closed. Much bigger difference than most other cars I can remember. I generally dont even drive around with the exhaust open unless I can have the windows open, which thankfully windows open is most of the time.
Oh sorry, I thought the heading was talking about something else. Was wondering why someone would be on here complaining about their very personal issues. On a serious note-mine is a 2020 with about 4k on it. Ya, it farts a lot and the 5-year old in me loves it. Alfa put a lot of thought and love into these cars. Reminds me of all my grunting and screaming during my rugby days trying to get that extra bit of energy out of my soul. I also love the grunts when you slow down. It's like a race horse slowing down from a sprint-blood still boiling, muscles bulging. Enjoy the beast mate!
I'm content with the sounds my 2.0L Giulia makes. It definitely sounds better from the outside than it does from the inside. My Spider satisfies my automotive symphonic needs. Top down near reflective surfaces, heaven!
