Whiteblock whine

Aside from the turbo, which I'm sure you aren't talking about, makers have to work hard to make the intake quiet. It can have some serious jet engine sounds coming out of it. Cams can also make crazy noise let alone simple gear noise from the tranny.
The 5, in my opinion, is an all-around strange engine. I like strange. But it is not what I'd call a smooth engine. To me it almost groans when it revs. It is noisy. I bet the noises we both notice are simple resonance within the aluminum. Nothing like the old cast iron to kill sound.
