Engine is loud

[machda]

Hey guys and girls, i am new to the whole world of tuning and mods. I bought a used mazda 3 2006, its great i love it,except for the fact it can be a bit loud(when it wants to be) and feel heavy when pressing the gas.i get synthetic oil changes(still have about 4,000 to go until next change), just put in fuel cleaner thing when i last filled up 2 weeks ago, air filter is clean(brand new). Sometimes the car just flies. I am a student so please no expensive tips or tuning.

Thanks !

Manual or auto?
What kind of loud, engine or road noise?

[machda]

Its Auto, its engine loud, dont hear the road much.

The tank with the fuel (system? injector?) cleaner will be cruddy. you're supposed to see improvement on the tank after that.

I'm not sure if you've filled up since then, your post was a tad vague. There are many things that might influence the noise you hear. When you say the car "feels heavy"... as in sluggish acceleration?

could be the passenger motor mount. mine is starting to fail and im starting to get a bit more vibrations and noise in the cabin.

Sorry about that.Yes its Fuel Injector i have 2 fill up since then no difference in that. Yeah sluggish acceleration, and other times it just jumps and flies

I've got a 05 Standard 2.0L. But when i turn my car on in the morning i get this loud noise. It goes away though once i release my cluth.

I don't know what you mean by "loud"
make a recording of it and post it!

is the ac on, or defrost.. that would casue it to slow down a bit and maybe make some more noise.

Hey yeah mine does that to until i put it into drive then it goes away. i was wondering is that normal ?

[machda]

Nope i turn these off when about to turn off the car.

I am guessing this is happening because the car is getting old. After all the car now is 7 years old and has 165 000 clicks so yeah. but i love this car, i am trying my best to keep it quite and in best condition. with frequent washes and cleaning and engine maintenance.

It ain't that old. Mine is 8 years with 215,000 kms. The only noise I have is the tensioner pulley & serpentine belt which makes a chirping/squeaking noise on cold starts. It goes away after 5 min.

The noise could be anything. Your radiator fan running? Your engine "ticking" (not a good thing). Make a video and post it.

saying it's "loud" isn't very descriptive or specific.... if you can describe what it sounds like, it'll help us help you better... otherwise if you can't do that, then just post a video which is better to begin with!

maybe a leak in your header? or anywhere else in the exhaust? maybe your bottom end is blown, is it really laggy when u drive?
