Today i was sitting in my car parked in the garage, after a well deserved bath (the car 
) also a lil sprinkle on the engine bay, and i let the engine run on purpose for about 5 minutes, and while i was in the car i pumped the throttle a few times, in P mode. I then started to hear the same sound but way less present, smth like a blow off valve. Whenever i lifted off, above 1500-2000rpms at least, i could hear that sound and i was not sure what was it.
Can it be a bov?! What's it making?

If you still have the sound then best bet is to take it back to the dealer to get it sorted out.

Drive it for a few days and see if you have the sound after that.
