Vehicles that utilize a timing chain vs a timing belt seem to be slightly noisier than cars that use belts. I guess the way the engine is designed.

My 09 Yaris engine is much noisier than my 00 Echo. Both have the 1.5L.

My 2007 yaris wasn't noisy, no tap tap tap.
Below 3000 RPM it was very quiet. Over 3000 RPM it's another story...lol |

I think it's all relative to what vehicle you'd been driving prior to the Yaris. I used to have a 2.4L 4 cylinder Grand Am, and the Yaris is certainly no louder than that car. 4 cylinder engines are loud when they're in high rev - that's just the way they are.
Like someone else mentioned, the only "new" noises I notice in the Yaris is water noise from raindrops on the roof, or hitting puddles. |

It's way quieter than the Volvo 850 Turbo I had most recently been driving.

Mine was loud until I put in Motul real synthetic oil and use a bigger 05 camry 4cyl Wix oil filter. It is so quiet on the HW sometimes I forget to shift into OD! Now I just did my 20K oil change coming out of Winter with Toyota filter(90915Yzzf2) and Valvoline synthetic 10w-30 and the car is noisy again. Damn! Real european synthetic and Wix is the answer! Fake american synthetic is fake and doesnt do its job.

If you use good oil and filter you shouldnt have a problem - or excessive noise.
