I think mine is noisy too but as it is the first D5 I've had not sure what normal is.
Mine seems to make slightly different noises at different times depending on rpm/acceleration/deceleration etc. Very different to other cars I've owned where the engine noise is consistent and usually the same type and maybe just gets faster/louder directly proportional to speed.
This car seems different giving almost a short flurry of tappety noise occasionally but not always (kind of goes through a low rev band when pulling away then quietens down again (not sure if the noise is injectors/vacuum related or lifters and not sure if normal or not).
Car sounds sweet from outside I think and these noises are more noticeable in the cabin for some reason - if I open the window I cannot hear the noise from outside if that makes sense?
Pretty sure the other D5 I test drove before buying this one sounded the same though.
