2008 vehicle. Seems like it is from under car or back seat. It doesn't start immediately but starts at different speeds. I stops before the car stops.

My 2006 Lexus 400H started making noise under the back seat/rear area, maybe where the battery pack is located. The noise sounds like the engine is working too hard and is at the worst at higher speeds and not audible a low speeds. Anyone know anything about this?

If noise is speed dependent, then it's the rear wheel bearing.
