Example. Consumer Guide rates Yaris's quietness as 4 out of 10. Yet, it's quiet to some owners here. That's what I mean by "loud is relative". In Yaris, I can hear engine noise even below 2000 rpm, stones hitting under the fender, and even the rain drop. In "quiet" cars, I hear none of those.

Well.. that's the overall quietness... I found the yaris so much quieter than my echo when i test drove it... but now.. i just want to add more sound deadening to it. I love how the corolla is quiet.. :(

I don't have a loud engine? I was glad to "know" that there is a lght "symbol" that tells me when the engine is "cold"...didn't know that!...Yaris World Forums are very informative and I appreciate everything I learn...

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.

Well if the engine and road noise bother you that much, then you can always turn-up the stereo

All depends what you compare it to. There is engine and road noise, but remember this is an econobox, not a luxury car.
Have you driven a 09 FiT? Not bad really!

+1. The only time I hear my idling engine is when it's still cold after start-up. Guess the squirrel hates being woken up

The engine in my new 09 Yaris is noticably louder than my '00 Civic hatchback when reving. At idle, it's so whisper quiet you can't even tell it running. The Civic had much more noticeable windnoise at highway speeds than the Yaris. I'm still getting to know this car. The other day I was just sitting and waiting on my wife outside Hell-Mart. I rolled down the window a bit and was amazed at how much outside noise came flooding in.

get some PENNZOIL Platinum 5w-30 while wating for the woman . Last I knew a 5 gallon jug of P.P. is $19.99 or a bit more . That'll bring the noise down a decibel or 2 .

Weird.. I thought it's way too quiet
A couple of times, I've tried to start my car after it's already on.... usually because someone calls me then I hang up and forget I've turned the key. But it's just so quiet that I can forget sometimes D: or maybe I have bad hearing |

At idle, the Yaris is quiet.
When revving, it's loud. I'm not expecting Lexus quiet in such a cheap car. |

Definately a quite engine at idle - Loud when the tach starts climbing. For those of us who are into sound dampening/high end car audio etc... it is really loud. I have sound dampened the whole car and the only thing really annoying is the engine.
It is true it is an econobox, but there are still some things you can do. If you can access the firewall and put some dampening or barrier mateial, it should make a big difference. There is not too much room in the engine compartment itself so another idea it to remove some of the dash(or go in from underneath) to apply some material. I am planning on doing this myself when I get the time. Look at the online manual to help you with the project. |
