Is it just me or is the Yaris engine THAT noisey?

The stock yaris intake is simpler than the echo intake. I think that is where most of the noise comes from.

+1 on that, mine is pretty buzzy under load and it does sound like intake noise.

overall, yes, this engine is on the loud side. quiet when not loaded, but under any kind of load the noise is definitely starts to come through. I find that I have to adjust the radio volume more often than in other cars I had. But it's ok, it's not too bad.
