Is your 4.0 V6 noisy?

1st gen's are loud. especially initially, their fan seems much louder than ours.

 

I noticed when i first got the truck from a cold start, our trucks are louuuuudddd.

(and now with an Aero Turbine on mine, it's a hell of alot louder at start up )

Never heard a 1st gen though.

 

Yeah I think my 1st gen is pretty loud. Like you said especially the fan but I love the sound of the 3.4.

 

my 4cyl is a bit noisy as well. its a truck though so idc

 

The cam followers have clearance they make a little noise it's not loud get over or buy a Lexus or some thing it's normal.

 

I like engines that make noise. My buddy has a Honda Ridgeline, and that thing is silent. It's almost impossible to hear it start.

 

My buddy's car is a VW Diesel. He was walking to school one day to pick up his kids and I was driving so I stopped to give him a lift. So I'm running through the first couple of gears shifts when he turns to me and says/asks "This is a diesel?".

On the plus side, not a lot of sound insulation to get soaking wet ...

 

Mine is very quiet at idle. The fan does make some noise on the highway.

 

My daily drive is a Acura CL-S so pretty much the same engine, I agree the engine noise is different. I would have to say is the nature of the best. Your not going to get a 4.0 liter engine to be as rev happy and smooth to red line as the smaller J series engines. Just turn the radio up louder or roll the windows down!

Wow sounds like a cool job
