Excessive engine noise in Suzuki Alto can be due to:

Exhaust System Issues: A damaged o r rusted exhaust system, including the muffler o r catalytic converter, can result in louder engine noise.
Low Oil Levels: Insufficient engine oil o r old, degraded oil can lead to increased friction between engine components, causing noise.
Valve Train Issues: Worn o r damaged valve components can cause tapping o r clicking sounds.
