What Does Your Engine Sound Like?

[Juzo]

I've noticed that the Maverick's engine is very loud and not in a good way.
all I hear from it constantly is valve noise. Is this just a normal Ford thing? Does your Maverick sound similar?
The oil was changed 3000 miles ago and is changed every 3-4000 miles.

Ecoboosts sound like a bucket of bolts. Welcome to the family.

Damn, you got a bucket with your bolts?? I paid $12k ADM and all I got was a lousy T-shirt

Could be the side effect of quieter engines. We can hear the valves where before they would be drowned out. But I work with computers, not engines.

It sounds similar to my I-3 EB Escape. Seems to run fine.

Sounds like an 1982 Peugeot Diesel

Sure its the valves? Could be the injectors.

I'm just a casual dummy, but it's probably normal. Quite a few videos of normal Ecos with the hood up, compare it to yours. If it's the same, you can quiet it down some with an engine cover from the Escape or Focus (iirc), and add perhaps add some material to the underside of the hood (I forget what the name is called, but it's that fancy felt stuff some cars have)

The 2 liter sounds terrible. Close the hood back up.

I don't mind it. The mileage is good.

Thanks, that's more or less what I was looking for. I guess I'll just have to turn the radio up.

yep the fuel injectors ecoboost have all the same "sewing machine" sound across the forum

The valve noise you hear is actually the high pressure fuel pump.

As a certified zip tie technician and YouTube mechanic, I indeed concur with that solution.

This. The injectors on these engines are noisy. Sounds like a loud sewing machine. If they could figure out how to make 4 cylinders growl it would be great.

It's not the valves.

As mentioned above its the high pressure fuel pump. Just tell your friends its a diesel.
