Hello,

Is the engine suppose to sound like that? It sounds really bad imo. It is pretty loud when I roll down my windows. I read some threads saying that the turbo engine suppose to sound like grinding/rattling. Is this it?



Thanks

That's the typical sound of direct injection.

When i bought my GTI in 2015, i asked about it before i even left the dealership.

My civic ext is the same. No problems with it.

Sounds like my lawn mower. Don't think my car sounds like that.

That is definitely NOT the direct injection sounds like.

Is there something loose somewhere?

Okay, it seems most everyone is saying this is normal. Not going to take a trip down to the dealership then. Thank you all.

Sounds pretty normal to me. That's why a lot of MFG add a sound insulated cover, like our Audi Q5 has. The injectors are crazy loud in order to close tight against the high fuel pressures. You'll notice that there's pretty heavy sound insulation under the hood.

It may be even louder because the intake is metal and integrated, rather than plastic, which might normally absorb some additional noise as well.

OP- Post a video with sound off to the side and hood down? If this were an older car, it sounds like some additive with lube for lifters might be worth it. Was the car warmed up when this video was taken? Compared to my vehicle, the sound on yours is rather loud.
