Zc33s Odd engine noise
Quote from Nick Vos on March 10, 2025, 9:24 amHey everyone,
I recently bought a manual 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport (1.4 BoosterJet, Non-Hybrid), and I’ve noticed a strange noise coming from the engine mostly when cold. It happens pretty consistently on cold starts and seems like it goes away once the oil temp reaches around 90°C.
The noise starts immediately after a cold start and is present in neutral and while revving. It lasts for 5-10 minutes of driving before disappearing completely but the car drives fine otherwise, no warning lights or performance issues that I'm aware of.
I recently had the car serviced at 50,000 km, and the mechanics at Suzuki couldn’t find any faults or errors.
I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars, so I’m wondering - is this a normal sound, or could it be a sign of something I should get checked out?
I’ve attached a recording, though the noise isn’t super obvious. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Doesn't help that the intake wraps around the engine nearly 2 times. Would love to get more turbo/induction sounds from it.
