It's AWD, I can't hear the noise while idling. most prevalent when accelerating after red light, and on the highway. When I hear the transmission shift the noise diminishes with each gear shift until reaching cruising speed, then I can't hear it again until accelerating again.

Wen I bought it, I was told it was AWD. How would I know if it's AWD or Front wheel drive?
