Is your Yaris 1.5 Engine noisy? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Vinsanity · 03-09-2009, 02:28 PM

it's loud because we're so close to the engine. lol. but it make a decent noise

firebob · 03-09-2009, 07:50 PM

If I’m sitting in the car with the windows down I do hear it running. I don’t have any taps, clicking, or anything like that. It sounds like a little kitten purring.

My last car started clicking all the time at 31,000 and no dealer would touch it. It blow at 38,000 and I called the closest Toyota dealership and told them I needed a Yaris and I needed it now but could not get there. A sales man was sent out to get me so I could test drive it back to the dealership.

Honda dose is still giving me a hard time about that car because it hit 38,000 in under a year and half. They tell me I abused the car even though most of the dealers I took it to told me that there is no way it had that many miles until it started clicking. I always get all of my work done at dealers because of the amount of miles I do a week. I not always around the same place but I still hit a dealer.

firebob: could you explain why no dealer would touch it?

firebob · 03-09-2009, 09:17 PM

Some told me I needed to take it to the dealer I got it form and some told me that I abused it because of the mileage. I have been in touch with a factory rep for the last 3 months and they have been looking into it. Now that it’s dead and sitting on a Honda lot in GA something will get done about it.

Sorry to hear about he problems hope it gets resolved

Yawesh · 03-12-2009, 10:08 PM

wow, it's pretty close on people who dinks it's noisy and those who don't, i am bumping this thread to move it to page 1

Yaris Hilton · 03-14-2009, 12:07 AM

My 2009 automatic sedan only has 500 miles on it at the moment, but it's very quiet at idle and at cruise. I think it's the quietest car I've been in at 70 MPH down the Interstate. No joke. Far quieter than the Volvo 850 Turbo I traded in for it.

SLIK4 · 03-30-2009, 03:50 PM

i only have a few clicking sounds when its cold and only in reverse after that well...it sounds like a 1.5 4

Forrest · 03-30-2009, 06:58 PM

No tap tap tap noise. Just typical engine noise expected on acceleration.

CtrlAltDefeat · 03-30-2009, 07:28 PM

I assume the tap tap tap is just your way or saying the engine is too loud (in the poll) I think it's louder then any other car I've owned, but mainly because it gets loud under higher revs, and I blast around in it all the time... It sounds pretty good... it's going to get louder with aftermarket exhaust and intake. I do see why the reviews say it's loud tho...

AlexNet0 · 03-30-2009, 07:51 PM

mine makes a lot of noise, almost like its growling at me under WOT, oh wait.....thats just the cold air, lol

but seriously, no noise from the actual engine here.

dccurrent · 03-30-2009, 10:15 PM

I get a louder whirring noise and/or vibration between 60 and like 68 mph and then the engine sounds smoother when I get above 70 mph. Weird that it sounds better at a faster speed. Below 60 the engine is quite smooth all things considered.

White Yaris · 03-30-2009, 10:59 PM

lol at everyone. Im so happy that im deaf so nothing is bothering me...

Same. I've had one friend come to a stop at a red light driving my car, and curse and try to re-start the car thinking they'd stalled it. Idle = silent.

It would be nice to have some good high-frequency damping on the firewall though, I'll take some recordings before and after I install that damping later this month, and include some on the sound of the doors with/without being all sealed up.

As it is, on the highway my CB antenna is (by far) the loudest noise in the cabin unless it's raining, then it's the rain on the roof. No before/after on that, but a bit of damping on the roof under the headliner clears it right up.

Yaris Hilton · 03-31-2009, 01:36 AM

Yes, when driving on the highway in the rain, the sound of the raindrops hitting the windshield and body is by far the loudest sound I hear.

buchieboy · 03-31-2009, 08:32 PM

mine has tapping sounds when on stop
Sometimes the engine also sounds loud before being quiet again..its like its reving higher

this happens when at full stop. its like the engine's breathing

Yaris Hilton · 04-01-2009, 10:56 AM

If you're idling the engine with the car stopped and intermittently hear a whirring or soft roar, it's the electric radiator fan cutting on to keep the engine from getting too hot. It usually doesn't have to run when you're driving, as the car's motion pushes enough air through the radiator.

Soner · 04-01-2009, 11:58 AM

My Yaris makes this (I really don't know how to describe it but this is the best I can do whooo whooo whooo whoo.....) noise if I go over 70 mph.
I am sure it's coming from the engine because when I accelerate to 80 mph and start cruising the noise goes away, however the second I push the gas pedal it comes back.
