I get a sort of short sharp intake of breath from the passengers side when I press the chequered flag button. It's like a speed limiter that warns me that it I don't start driving more sedately strong words will follow.

It doesn't happen when I'm alone in the car at all though.

Yep, when I press the chequered flag button and then the accelerator pedal, I sometimes get a whine from the vicinity of the passenger seat.
The whine is louder when in "S" mode followed by a couple of flicks of the left paddle.
No whine at all when on my own.

I get the same. My thinking is that it's coming from the sunroof...may need to be adjusted as sometimes when I go to close it, it bounces back twice and then I have to hold the button to manually close it. I also had my windshield replaced for cracks which it may be slightly off at some point causing the wind noise....
