Noisy engine 1KR-FE, vibrations - Sirion 2005

Forum: 

Hi
I cannot get used to the engine being very noisy.
The cranking is really loud from the outside compared to any other car and the engine is running cold tuddatuddatudda very loudly too espesially cold, but when hot it is still too loud. It rattles inder load/acceleration. I can hear my better half coming from a quater of a mile. At idle the engine vibrates 1/3 - 1/2 inch and could probably be used on its own for laying concrete.
I have read a lot about this being kinda normal from Aygo/Yaris forums but can anyone confirm your cars have similar "features"? Thanks.

Will do my own examamination this week any hints where to look appreciated.
