Yaris engine loud..?
I just bought a 2008 Yaris last month and I've noticed that the engine is pretty loud -- I have seen articles stating that fact but I wanted to make sure other owners have noticed this -- it is especially loud when starting (in Park gear) and when driving on the highway over 60...is this normal..?

Who said Yaris was slow?

I don't find it loud... You just need to remember this is an ECONO car not a Lexus..
The Yaris is a very light car and lacks the sound dapening of other more expensive cars. If you find it too lound you can do a search over the sound/electronics section. There are some threads on how to improve the sound dapening by adding some sound proofing materials. |

Crank up the beats and it's good. I find it's pretty normal. Compared to say a Camry, it's pretty loud. Compared to my modified bmw, I enjoy the quietness haha.

I'm admittedly a bit hearing challenged in the frequencies found in road / engine noise for new cars. That said, my 97 bonneville is noisier than my 08 sedan. So is my 00 durango. My 91 camry is WAY louder than any vehicle I've ever owned apart from the '72 Monte Carlo with the halfway installed, mostly leaking glass pack dual exaust stuck out from the air shock lifted back end that was raised so high you couldda painted a bullseye on the gas tank and I couldn't see a damn thing out the back windshield.......ah...that's feels good

wow, I thought it was an extremely quiet engine , I guess that's what owning a jetta TDI (that didn't have a good previous owner) does to you. And well, the fact that all of our household vehicles are considerably louder doesn't help.
I can't complain, I think it's quiet as a mouse. |

Everything's relative; since I had a rattling heat shield vibrating on my Swift before buying the Yaris, it's quiet in comparison, but I'd say loud compared to what I'd expect for a brand new $13k car, and a (quality) Toyota at that...

don't forget , when the automatic YARIS is started cold it remains in 3rd gear until warmed up . This may be what you're encountering . Otherwise the engine is fairly loud , there's not much insulating between the engine and the cabin . Probably due to economics . If want to tame the engine noise , you may want to start using a synthetic motor oil . Such as PENNZOIL Platinum , SHELL full synthetic , VALVOLINE , etc.. These are fairly inexpensive oils that are widely available and perform quite well . Go to DO IT YOUSELF for more input on these and other synthetics . GOOD LUCK

Make sure you actually pop the stick into "D" and not "3" like some people have done in the past If it's in "3", it sure will be loud when driving above 60mph.

"Loud" is so relative.
To me, it's "loud", but I like it even louder :p

the 1nz-fe is an overall noisy engine. especially ticking noise... It's most noticable when the engine is fully warmed up and at idle. Or the overall noise it makes when it's warming up.
While driving.... the bad sound proof of the car makes road noise and engine rev very noticeable compared to other compact size or mid-size cars. |
