I will try. However it seems to be also the same sound it makes when driving. Also when sitting down inside car while it is on and there no music on you can hear some sound maybe fan from hvac

Confused, you’re saying that when you’re in your car, parked, you can hear the fan from the HVAC
 if the HVAC is running, isn’t that normal? Or is the HVAC off?

There is rumble like sound which I don’t think is how it should be and it is very low.
I have bad ocd and low sensitivity to stuff like unfortunately

Is it the same sound when you’re going reverse and when you’re idle, just with the HVAC on?

No the reverse is similar to the drive sound the inside is a different sound. Unless the inside is a much lesser form of the moving sound

Might it be the AVAS - basically a sound to make others around the car aware it’s there?

I agree it most likely is. Cause it turns on when on reverse then goes away in drive. When you speed on drive I think it comes back

The HVAC compressor is very noisy and you can hear very well when you are parked (and sound exactly as a rumble).
about the other sound (reverse/driving) I think it’s the pedestrian alert (ADAS). Fortunately I had a 2021 Tesla without it (it was on only in reverse) and it was more “silent” than the Macan.

The rumble is weird, haven't had it in an EV yet, but I don't mind it. And I totally love the pedestrian sound! (Just to drop an alternative opinion on here) 😅
