Is your Yaris 1.5 Engine noisy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

This is a survey to see who thinks their engine is noisy as there are many mixed reviews.

talnlnky · 03-08-2009, 08:08 PM

there is a tiny bit of a "tap" on my car, but its actually pretty minimal... i've seen much much worse. With some sound deadening on my firewall i'm sure I could nearly get rid of all engine noise heard in the cabin of the car.

tap tap tap tap!!

Are those sounds coming from the valve pumping?

SilverBack · 03-09-2009, 01:37 AM

No taps after the warm-up, but it does rev quite loud just the way I like it...

its noisy on acceleration, obviously. its plenty loud at interstate speeds, but par for the subcompact class. anyone saying they dont hear how loud it is under these circumstances should seriously get their hearing checked. of course its quiet just idling or driving at slower speed under light acceleration, but so is an aveo, so big deal.

True, but mine never goes tap tap tap tap tap... it goes hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I thought it was noisy until I got my Wrangler. Now the thing is quite and fast as hell.

Yawesh · 03-12-2009, 11:08 PM

wow, it's pretty close on people who dinks it's noisy and those who don't, i am bumping this thread to move it to page 1

My 2009 automatic sedan only has 500 miles on it at the moment, but it's very quiet at idle and at cruise. I think it's the quietest car I've been in at 70 MPH down the Interstate. No joke. Far quieter than the Volvo 850 Turbo I traded in for it.

rningonfumes · 03-09-2009, 09:34 AM

Obviously there is noise, but it's not tap tap tap. As you've said, it's on par with the rest of the group of sub compacts.

SailDesign · 03-09-2009, 09:37 AM

The Yaris is quieter than many cars I've owned of any size.
Could it be quieter? Sure.
Would that make it more expensive? Maybe...
Bottom line is that it is not so noisy that it annoys me, and I am quite happy with that.

I get a lot of valve noise when it's warming up. I've got 40k miles and have had all oil changes done on time.

Havana · 03-09-2009, 10:25 AM

I get no tapping sounds at all but plenty of noise during acceleration and high speed travel. At idle, it's so quiet I can't even tell it's running.

Same. I've had one friend come to a stop at a red light driving my car, and curse and try to re-start the car thinking they'd stalled it. Idle = silent.

It would be nice to have some good high-frequency damping on the firewall though, I'll take some recordings before and after I install that damping later this month, and include some on the sound of the doors with/without being all sealed up.

As it is, on the highway my CB antenna is (by far) the loudest noise in the cabin unless it's raining, then it's the rain on the roof. No before/after on that, but a bit of damping on the roof under the headliner clears it right up.

Yaris Hilton · 03-31-2009, 02:36 AM

Yes, when driving on the highway in the rain, the sound of the raindrops hitting the windshield and body is by far the loudest sound I hear.

buchieboy · 03-31-2009, 09:32 PM

mine has tapping sounds when on stop
Sometimes the engine also sounds loud before being quiet again..its like its reving higher

this happens when at full stop. its like the engine's breathing
