What causes a loud noise when the engine starts?
Some components like piston rings will wear over time and must expand with engine heat before they will work properly. Modified engines with forged pistons will do the same, but this is normal. This problem is more common on some engines than others, but is a result of wear on the valve lash adjusters, valves, valve seats, and/or valve springs.
Is it normal for an engine to make a clicking noise when idle?
Some high output engines have short skirt pistons or roller valve trains so a minimal amount of ticking is normal when the engine is at idle. Fuel injectors also make a slight clicking noise when the engine is idling as well. These noises are normal and no repair is required.
Why does my Ford engine make a humming noise?
Engine Humming or Honking The IAC motor (idle air control) controls idle air to the engine. When an IAC motor fails it creates a loud humming sound when it fails. This is a common problem with Ford engines meaning the idle air control motor needs to be replaced. 7. Engine Knocking
What should I do if I hear a noise in my engine?
To isolate the origin of the noise remove the serpentine belt and start the engine to see if the noise is still there. If the sound disappears one of the above items has failed.
What should I do if my starter makes noise?
Though usually the flywheel had good and bad spots, its grind,normal,grind normal,ect… Pull the lower inspection cover off and look at the flywheel teeth. Alternatively you could pull the starter and check it out with a mirror or camera if you don’t have a jack for some reason.
Why does my 7 year old make noises all the time?
You mention that he makes these noises “all the time” and yet it sounds like there are times you’ve experienced him not making these noises (as I can imagine he can’t make them 24/7).
How long has H been making loud noises?

Why is my car making noise when I start the car?
Thinking low battery might somehow play a role I jump started from another car during starting to add extra amps, still bad noise during start. I am now out of ideas and nothing in the service manuals deal with noise, all the troubleshooting is for starters that do not start.
When to issue warning notice for noise at night?

Is it illegal to play loud music in the morning?
This is especially true early in the morning as it was the other day while he conducted various tasks. Playing loud music, particularly outside, is against longstanding neighborhood traditions and is in violation of city noise ordinances. We would greatly appreciate it if he would keep the volume on his truck stereo down. Thank you,
What makes noise when oil pressure is low?
Some components that will make noise with low oil pressure are the lifters, valve lash adjusters, rocker arms and variable valve-train adjuster (if so equipped.) Some components like piston rings will wear over time and must expand with engine heat before they will work properly.
Why does my car make a loud noise when I start the engine?
The engine tone will be deeper and it’s common to hear periods of engine backfiring when you have an exhaust leak somewhere in the exhaust system. What’s the cause of this sound? When your vehicle sounds as if it turned up the volume on the exhaust by a factor of three to five, it’s usually caused by a leak somewhere in the exhaust system.
When is it OK to make noise at night?
However, in the Noise Act “night-time” is specified as being between the hours of 11pm and 7am; and noise is particularly significant in terms of likelihood for disturbance between these hours. Clearly, the later the noise the more likely that it will be to disturb and annoy.
When is the best time to do noise pollution work?
With regards noise pollution times and building works there is a British Standard that supports the legislation that may be imposed on the construction industry. It suggests that noisy construction or demolition work may take place from 8am to 6pm with a shoulder hour either side (effectively, then, 7am to 7pm).
What causes the whirring sound on a bad starter?
If the engine is cranking and your vehicle won’t start, then you are probably dealing with an ignition or fuel system problem. But if you don’t hear a cranking sound and the engine won’t start while hearing the noises described above, then you are most likely dealing with a starter problem. What Causes The Whirring Sound On A Bad Starter?
Why does a V10 sound so loud in a cold start?
V10s sound especially violent during a cold start. To start with, a car’s ECU decides that the engine has to idle higher when the engine is cold to stop it from stalling. This is programmed into the ECU via a start-up map, which allows a richer air/fuel mixture to enter the cylinders.
Why does my car make a hissing noise when I shut it down?
Hissing/Sizzling If you hear a sizzling or popping sound immediately after shutting down the engine, there could be a leak. Either oil or coolant is leaking onto a hot engine component. You might see the leak on the exhaust manifold, or it could be harder to find.
What causes the kocking sound on start-up that disappears?
Depending on how cold it is or I guess long it’s sitting, I’ve heard it do it for about 30 seconds and then stop. Sometimes turning the steering wheel will cause it to stop or quieten it up until it completely disappears. Once it disappears, u never hear it for the rest of the day. As for the flex pipe, just look under the car at it.
What does it mean when an engine rattles on a cold start?
When the engine gets older it will start to rattle more and more on cold starts and this is a sign that the timing chain is getting worn out.
Why does my car make a knocking sound when I change gears?
This sound is usually heard as you drive your car, changing gears and accelerating. The sound seems like something inside the engine is knocking hard on it. Usually, that is a result of early ignition of the air-fuel mixture that is supposed to burn at just the right time for producing the optimal power.
What causes a rattling noise in the valve train?
Although a worn rocker arm most likely won’t affect engine performance, it can cause valve train noise. You may hear a light tapping or rattling noise coming from one or more of the affected rocker arms. To diagnose the problem: Check the engine oil condition. Check for proper oil circulation around the valve train.

What causes a clatter noise when a valve is closed?
A valve can also float because of a broken valve spring. Usually, the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm widens and causes a clatter noise too. Although mechanical problems are the main cause of a floating valve, excess engine speed can also prevent a valve from closing properly, leading to engine performance problems.
Can a worn rocker arm cause valve train noise?
Although a worn rocker arm most likely won’t affect engine performance, it can cause valve train noise. You may hear a light tapping or rattling noise coming from one or more of the affected rocker arms.
