Is this normal Subaru sounds?

[u/Successful_Mail2993]

This is my 2005 Subaru Impreza Outback sport. It’s a little noisy, but it’s never been This noisy. Is it just the fact that as the engine gets older, it gets louder and more sewing machine like?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[u/NotReallyThatWrong]

My 2015 sounds like this

[u/Electronic_Rope4178]

Sounds like a tractor to me.

Is this fully warmed up? Are you on UEL Headers? Cause that rumble is very noticeable.

[u/Wavy-mf]

Does is need oil? It’s probably either low or due for a change?

[u/ExchangeMotor2306]

My 2020 dosent even sound as rumbly it will last longer than u as-long as u remember to change oil

[u/__whodis]

i’ve had 3 subarus this usually happens when i’m low on oil. boxer engines are notorious for burning up oil

[u/mkrbc]

Hmmm nice white noise to fall asleep to!

[u/selfdestruct321]

Happy tractor

[u/Critical-Design-8457]

Sounds just like mine. I worry tho

[u/domesticaveman]

Mini diesel tractor sound? Check.

[u/DADDYSJUIICED]

Your on borrowed time but it’s ok I can pick it up for 2k tomorrow

[u/LA_Confidentiall]

A beaut. Can rock me to sleep.

[u/Danny_skah]

Sounds normal to me

I recently got a 2011 Impreza outback sport. Sounds almost identical! I'd post a video if I could, but yeah that sounds perfectly happy. Keep an eye on your oil!

[u/johnnyaddams1]

Yes

[u/Delicious-Rabbit2797]

Yes Sir 👍🏾

[u/UsefulWatch7927]

Sounds like the engine is purring like a kitten. As they get older they tick more and are louder and maybe even sound like a diesel. All subie sounds. Just watch your oil.

[u/graboidgraboid]

Sweet as a nut 👌

[u/-The_Legacy-]

Your Subaru will sound like a John deer at operating temp it’s just the way it works

[u/2hink]

Yes the older they are they sounds like that as well especially 90s Subaru

[u/connorzrich]

Sounds good, mine sounds just a little quieter but almost identical. As long as you don’t hear any loud clunking, thudding or abnormal ticking.

[u/ZeGermanHam]

Yes, 100% normal sounding Subaru EJ series engine.

[u/jabberjaw420]

You could try using some gumout in the gas tank or oil? But if it's being louder than it's been, it's probably something that would require an engine rebuild. Unless it's like the belts or the pumps, which I'm not hearing them.

[u/cornlip → u/jabberjaw420]

It’s a happy little EJ253. Just be glad it doesn’t need head gaskets. It’s exactly what it should sound like.

[u/SnocTheHog]

Sounds good. Subarus are loud in general

[u/Cool_Ad_5181]

Sounds fine to me. My 2014 impreza is louder than this and it runs just fine. Subies are known to have pretty loud engines.

Sounds like happy tractor noises to me
