Yes I do Konstantin.  At least I think I do as I have not had anybody drive 
my car in reverse while I observed this phenomenon.  The sound however from 
inside the cabin is rotational and only while I am going in reverse and as 
you indicated it occurs after the car has sat for a while.  Suspension 
settling?  Cold weather causing gas in the struts to decrease in volume?  Ja

niewiem. 

I think that over the Thanks Giving holiday, we need to descend upon Igor's 
house and drink vodka for a while, er I mean let the cars sit for a while, 
and see what other noise(s) may emanate from our front ends (I'm not talking

about slurred words) while we all go full lock in reverse.  What say you? 
Oops, forgot to ask Igor.  Igor?

I'm there (seeing as we all missed the Rusky up this way this summer), as
yes my 17x8 mit 255s do do this but no my 16x7.5 mit 225/50s do not.  Oh and
it's only on the right side.  Not mudflap as I no have them but inner fender
liner.  Burned right through it, the paint, and now the galvanized.  I like
it tho, it's the only shiny part of my car and there's nothing to do about
it.  Yes many others cars do it as well, Lee-now-Marc's Avant comes to mind.
Chalk it up to some mysterious Hans & Franz phenomena or something.

OK, I'm 'there in spirit'...  have many freezerchilled sips for me tho
please...
