Idk, it's not the tires squealing, but it's the tires making noise on the road. Not sure how else to explain it.

Is it something you hear only with power applied? Because if you ask the RAV4 for more than a small amount of thrust, the engine kicks back on.

If turns with a modest amount of lateral acceleration counts, but not necessarily thrust, then yes and I don't recall anything like you describe...which I'm still having a hard time imagining being anything but something tightly tied to the specific combination of speeds, pavement type, tire (including treadblock shape, size, depth, and compound), surroundings, and other environmental conditions.

We may not be able to get any further on this with just written words.
