I take it you are running factory Nissan motor oil?
The reason I ask is that when I switched to Torco synthetic oil I noticed an immediate difference in engine sound – even when idling. According to my mechanic, the Nissan oil has an anti-dampening property in it that the Torco does not. I like zinc in my oil hence the Torco switch.
I guess my point is if you switched oil, that could be why your car sounds louder.
Just a thought.
