2015 Sienna minor vibration

Hi,
I have a new 2015 Sienna LE with about 900 miles on it. I noticed that I can feel a minor vibration in the steering wheel when accelerating, always been like that but so minor it isn't really bothersome. And I do mean minor, no steering wheel shaking, stuff like that. I happened to put my hand on the back of center console between the two seats and can feel it there also. Kind of reminds me of a very weak vibrator.

It is so minor that I really think that there is no problem, just the nature of the beast. Previously I had Dodge Caravans and never noticed this in the steering wheel of those.

Being a first time Toyota Sienna owner, I am curious: Do any of you notice a weak vibration feeling in the steering wheel when accelerating? BY the way, I do notice that the exhaust sound on these is louder than my previous minivans. Probably the nature of the beast, louder but not a problem, not excessive. Wondering if Toyota didn't do the best job isolating drive train vibration in these vehicles.

Thanks....

I purchased a 2015 sienna LE, and experiencing the same vibration at around 1200 to 2000 RPM... kind of anoying.. but not feeling something is bad .. as the vehicle is just 400~ miles done..

wondering if using a 89 grade gas will solve it due to .... power to load ratio....

any mechanical thoughts is appreciated
