As you accelerate the pistons move faster and the noise changes appropriately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the timing is off or when engine calibration is an issue or worse when there is insufficient oil you will hear changes in what would be your regular benchmark engine sound.&nbsp; You may hear tapping, irregular piston firing, or a metal to metal slap. At that point stop operating the car and get it to the mechanic ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#333333;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Trany Slipping<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/trany-slipping.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#333333;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Trany Slipping when Engine Reving<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tranny-slipping-engine-reving.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#333333;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Valves Tapping<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/valves-tapping.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#000000;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#333333;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Piston Slapping<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/piston-slapping.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The main noise you hear under the hood is that of the engine\u2019s pistons going up and down inside the engine\u2019s cylinders. &nbsp;Powered by the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-under-the-hood","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":294,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13\/revisions\/294"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
