Don't people listen to the engines run before they buy the car?

I'd say in general, normal people are profoundly stupid.

Piston slap?!?!

That sounds like a normal DI engine.

This is a real piston slap

But it's not direct-injected.

If you really want to hear piston slap, find a 2000-2003 or so GM 2500 with the 6.0L. My neighbors swore up and down that I switched vehicles during the day and had a diesel in the morning and an identical nice quiet gasser coming home. Those engines are known to be loud slappers and a bit thirsty for oil.

I have heard this from various places, yet my fathers 2002 Silverado with the 6.0 has no piston slap with 145K on the clock.

First one sounds like fuel injectors

Injectors clicking. Close the hood and stop obsessing. Both engines will run forever.

Sounds all normal to me, our 2015 2.5 with 600 miles on it does that till warm. What really sounds bad is on a cold start the first second till the timing chain tensioner gets oil pressure. It alarmed me the first day, but I realized our 02 and 06 2.4's done the same thing.

Yes you can hear the engine running but sitting inside the car while it's running the car is very quiet. Sound level at idle is 39.4 dB.
