If you have listened to the stick shake and isolate one "click" then that is what mine sounds like (and others I have ridden). Yours sounds like serious gear slippage or pieces that have broken off and are now grinding in the gear box. Suggest you go to the dealer and ride several rental units in the store and listen to the sound they make. As was said before, each Seg has its own sound. I have noted that the sound when running runs the gamut from whine to low pitched grown, but never the stripped gear sound in your video. Hope this helps.

I agree...this is a fair bit louder than it should be. I wonder if this would be apparent if some other sound was in the video. Something that everyone would recognize as a standard loudness, like a telephone ringing.
By the way, my instinct tell me to have you pull the offending gearbox off and look at the coupler. You just have to pull a few screws off and check around for shredded white plastic.
