2024 Taco Sport engine noise / feedback

[Gfenza89]

Here is my suggestion @Gfenza89 - enjoy your trip and worry about it only if something goes wrong.

Made it one way no problems. Truck is so smooth on the highway highly impressed. First time on the interstate

Sounds like a lawnmower compared to my old V8. But it has grown on me

Yeah - even though I have had a number of I4s it will be a big change from my Tundra with the 5.7L engine with a high performance dual exhaust. It sure does make some pretty music while it is sucking down a tank of gas though.

It’s the one thing I miss about the old F150. The throaty growl when you hit the gas. But like I said. The new engine has grown on me.

More of a buzz or a wizz

Hello

Newbe here. Just purchased a 24 TRD Sport. Iforce 4. Interested in what others "who own" one, thinks about the engine. Only have 160 miles on it but i feel its a bit noticeable in the cabin. Ordered a hood mat to cut down on noise.

Anyone else have any thoughts / feedback?

Thanks

I didn't want to spend the $474.00 (install pins are extra lol)Toyota wants for their OEM hood insulation. So I spent around $35.00 on Amazon for heat/sound deadening insulation sheets. Rolled them on in about 30 minutes.

Did it make a difference as far as noise reduction and the direct injection sounds coming into the cabin

Thanks. Yea, I have a insulation sheet on order thats aftermarket.

I turned off the engine noise option using the odb2 port. Did not notice any difference.

I think it does yes.
My initial concern was for engine heat adversely affecting the hoods paint (long-term). It has also eliminated the hood "shimmy" at interstate speeds, which I believe was caused by the wind "turbulence" in the engine compartment.
So it decreased the overall noise of the engine and the wind.

I was curious to see if your hood insulator came in and if so did it make a difference? I ordered mine two weeks ago and have yet to receive it

I bought the oem hood insulator and it barely made any difference.

You really find it to be that noisy, mine doesn’t have a hood blanket and I think it sounds good

It could be the fake engine noise that is pumped into the cabin. I had a similar thought and discovered the fake engine noise and disabled it using Carista and now it’s nice and quiet.

This is the way that Nosie needs to be turned off.

I shut that off also using the odb2 port. No difference. I did put the under the hood insulation sheet on and it quieted down the engine outside the truck but I have come to realize I stepped down to a turbo 4 cyl engine from a 6.2L Ford F-250. I really cannot compare but likely just need to get used to the difference in trucks.

It just sounds a little rough when accelerating.
