What Causes the Loud Engine Noise in Camry?
2 Answers
Camry engine noise can be caused by aging engine mounts, deteriorated seals, etc. The specific reasons are as follows: Aging engine mounts: After high mileage, the engine mounts may age. Replacing the engine mounts can resolve the issue. Deteriorated seals: If the engine sounds normal from outside but the noise feels excessive inside the car, it indicates poor sound insulation. Check the vehicle's seals for signs of aging. Alternatively, improving the vehicle's sealing effect and then testing the noise level may help. Faulty cylinder valves: If the engine produces a dull, slapping sound during operation, it is likely due to issues with the cylinder valves. In such cases, this sound may disappear when driving at high speeds.
I think the Camry engine noise is loud, and there are quite a few reasons. I've been driving for over ten years, including this model, and common issues include exhaust pipe leaks or cracks—holes in the exhaust system can cause a buzzing sound. Additionally, if the engine oil hasn't been changed for too long, increased engine friction can lead to abnormal noises. Like what I experienced last year, a worn belt made a squeaking noise, especially noticeable during cold starts. Also, if the engine mounts are loose, vibrations become more pronounced. It's important to pay attention to these parts during maintenance, as timely checks can save a lot of money. A sudden increase in noise is even more dangerous—it's best to visit a repair shop as soon as possible and not compromise safe driving. Developing a habit of regular maintenance is key.
