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, 07:08 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?

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.

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.

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, 09:25 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.

IllusionX · 03-09-2009, 11:18 AM

mine does tap tap tap when warming up. I hear it more in my yaris than in my echo.

i'm not worried about it.

The engine noise is ok. The highway noise could be lower or I need a louder radio.
