Why is the noise of the CRV so loud?
3 Answers
The reasons for the loud noise in the CRV are: 1. Excessive engine oil; 2. Carbon deposits in the engine; 3. Carbon deposits in the three-way catalytic converter. The CRV is a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda, equipped with Michelin Latitude series SUV tires. Its body dimensions are 4621mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1679mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. The CRV's engine is a newly developed 2.0L double overhead camshaft i-VTEC engine by Honda, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 190Nm, a maximum power speed of 5600rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 2000rpm to 5000rpm.
My CR-V always makes a rumbling noise when driving. At first, I thought it was an engine issue, but later I realized it might be related to the tires and suspension system. Uneven tire wear or overinflated tires can amplify the noise, especially at high speeds. Worn-out shock absorbers or loose bearings in the suspension system can also cause strange noises, making the car feel like it's bouncing on a construction site. Regular inspections of these components have helped a lot—replacing poor-quality tires and adding lubricant improved the situation. I recommend avoiding aggressive driving on rough roads and keeping up with maintenance to prevent bigger issues. Remember, as a car ages, part wear is inevitable—don’t wait until safety is compromised to fix it.
As a CR-V owner for several years, that noise is really annoying, especially the squeaking sound when decelerating which is even more frightening. I've thought about the reasons: it's mostly caused by worn brake pads or loose chassis screws causing vibrations; another possibility is the aging engine belt squealing, or a whistling sound from an air intake leak. Regular maintenance is crucial—don't ignore minor issues, like checking if the chassis fasteners are loose every time you wash the car. Noise not only affects your mood but also hints at hidden dangers. I recommend getting a comprehensive inspection at a professional shop, and when replacing parts, opt for OEM components for better durability to avoid frequent issues affecting long trips.
