the yaris has a timing chain, no currently produced toyota engine has a belt except for the 2uz-fe 4.7.

You should replace the washer fluid with high performance red super temp, it's great at keeping the washer fluid cool when the 105.2hp is cranking away. That'll fix 'er.

Nope, I meant the washer fluid. It's a highly underrated, intricate part of the engine's function.

Every review I've ever read about buzzy engine noises seemed to blame the use of a timing chain. That said, IMHO timing chains are much more desirable than timing belts, despite the noise. Replacing a timing belt (usually recommended ~60k miles) is an expensive to-do, and should you ever have one snap on you, it basically FUBARs your whole engine... pistons and valves get up-close and personal, and all hell breaks loose (literally). Toyota timing chains are so cool, they don't even require maintenance! (or at least that's what they told me about my Vibe/Matrix).

As far as the regular vs. premium, the only difference is how quickly it detonates. Premium burns just a tad slower and more smoothly due to the extra octane molecules tacked on the end of the molecular chain. Regular burns quickly, resulting in more of a "pop" combustion. Maybe that's has something to do with it? If I'm not mistaken, most fuel injected cars have "knock" sensors to detect pre-detonation and electronically adjust the timing to compensate.

Just a shot in the dark since fuel and the timing chain have already been disgused- What about the A/C compressor? They can make a whirring sound when the compressor clutch is engaged. Run your car with both the A/C on and off and see if it goes away. Remember, even if your A/C button if off, it is still on if your using the defrost airflow. Turn the fan switch off to be sure the clutch disengages.
