drone will always be worse in a wagon/hatchback.
I have studied this brr on deceleration sound and I believe the variable valve timing shifts to its most aggressive setting to increase pumping losses and increase engine braking. I believe it is similar to a Jacobs Engine Brake that holds the intake valves open to increase engine braking. If you will notice, the brr sound is associated with increased drag from the engine and does not happen immediately after throttle lift, there is a very slight delay.
Is the variable valve timing something that can be monitored with a Dash Hawk?
This is purely my theory based on observation and I have nothing concrete to back this up. I invite criticism in the name of enlightenment.
