Drum roll... there is nothing wrong with my car... as was mentioned above, they’re just loud like that. Apparently what I’m hearing that is unpleasant to my ears is the injectors.
So I guess that’s good news that it’s not an issue, but that’s also Ronald the worst possible news for ME cause that just cements that I don’t really like the car that much and it’s unlikely to change.

Also, GF1 knows his Astons!!! Thanks again for letting me drop by and helping me diagnose the noise.
Best,
Chris
No problem, my pleasure.
Sorry that there is not a really good way to quiet those injectors.

Within last 200 miles:
- New alternator
- Oil change
Within last 500 miles:
- BC racing coil overs
- New pilot sport 4S tires
- Double-walled idler pulley and serpentine belt upgrade
At, if memory serves, 35k miles:
