Loud exhaust or ??

[JoSHMaN]

I recently noticed that when I start driving my car sounds unusually loud. Like right as I start to hit the gas (before 2K RPM) slowly its pretty loud then goes away, this is louder than I remember. The only way I can describe it is it sounds like a diesel for a few seconds and goes away, it only happens while driving, I can rev the engine in park and I don't hear it. It sounds like the exhaust kinda.

It just really doesn't sound right to me. The car has been fine otherwise.
Anyone else have a similar thing happen? I just want to make sure I'm not going crazy here.
I'll probably bring it to the dealer very soon but I'd like to just get some input from you guys first.

Thanks

hey guy,

i am no pro, but it is probably attributed to one of 2 things if not both.

one-perhaps it is just me, but i do strongly believe that the exhaust become a BIT louder once you put some mile on it.... some only meaning around 3k or so....

two- more likely...... sounds like you have an exhaust leak somewhere... it is a good sign when there is more "bubbling" than usual that you got a leak in the line. has performance suffered? is it louder with wide open throttle (of course it is but, i mean, does the "abnormality" intensify?)

i wouldn't freak out too bad. see what some of the more experienced guys on here say, then take it to the dealer. chances are good that it can be diagnosed and/or repaired under warranty.....

It does sound like a leak to me, and I'm no expert, the car feels totally normal to me though. I've got almost 19K on the car. It seems to make the noise at very low RPM's and once I start going around 3K RPM or so its totally gone.
Like I said I'll have the dealer check it soon, I was just curious if anyone else has had this issue or if it was a common thing.

I get a hissing sound when the car sits overnight....goes away after it warms up. Not sure if thats what you are after though...
