its a common problem that pretty much everyone has, myself included
there is no known solution for it
i agree, it is pretty annoying

Yeah mine does it as well, but not as bad as the wife's Yaris. The Yaris vibrates the engine cover and sounds like hell.

 

well thanks for your fast replies i guess i gotta deal with it. thanks fellas

 

Maybe put an aftermarket muffler on there.

 

I don't know how to do a link like ttylerr does. There is another related thread on the 4 cylinder forum here entitled "Poll: Diesel like noise clutch determinative?".

 

turn the radio up.....
