Sorry. It's the same as about 70%(no factual data to back that up)of the posts I see on here. Either it be in this section or the tuning section...

"My car has this problem, I will give absolutely no information, no details, but internet, tell me what is wrong."

People are idiots and think that, regardless of the problem, the internet can fix it. Even if the internet doesn't know what your actual problem is.

Pull valve covers, check rockers.

Make sure torque converter bolts are tight.

Remove serpentine belt to see if noise goes away.

Just keep driving until it breaks and then the problem will be easier to figure out.

That morning car noise has three solutions based on the information at hand

1) Turn up the volume and or upgrade the stereo.

2) Exhaust is too quiet and needs upgrade.

3) Unload that clunker on Carvana/Ebay
