    I've had my Prius for a couple days and I'm loving it. I'm noticing a faint scraping noise while driving very slowly on electric power (5-10mph). Should a Prius be absolutely 100% silent while driving slowly on the electric power? Sounds a bit like the rotors, maybe. Perhaps it's a part of the break in. Just making sure everything is copacetic! Thanks PC!
