I got a used 2007 galant ES (first car) and my friend commented that the engine seemed a little loud. I hadn't really noticed it before, but it does sound louder than most cars I've driven / ridden in.
The engine gets loud when I accelerate and doesn't seem to be that loud otherwise. It's not loud to a point where it's booming or drowning down the radio, but definitely a little above most cars which seem to be pretty quiet.
I came across a post somewhere saying that the 4cyl engine on the galant is loud, but can't find a video of what a stock galant is supposed to sound like.
So, how loud is this thing supposed to be? Should I be concerned? I can't figure out if this is normal and the sound is supposed to be sporty, or if there might be something wrong with the car.
