Why do 2 strokes rattle?

The most common noise associated with a two-stroke top end is a “metallic slap”.

Left unattended, excessive piston slap can result in failure of the piston skirt.

Why are 2 stroke engines so loud?

Two-stroke engines do not have intake and exhaust valves to regulate the flow of fresh air into, and exhaust gas out of the combustion chamber. As a result, there are two sound waves leaving the exhaust on every stroke (or combustion cycle) resulting in a higher frequency or pitch, and therefore louder noise.
