Someone is bound to know but when I turn on my car, the engine roars a bit more than normal. Now I've checked the oil and thats fine and can't think of anything else I need to check myself?
Anyone have any ideas what could be making it noisy? Its ok when Im actually driving, just when I start it up.

Could be the baffle in the silencer? Do what my sisters do, buy a new car because it makes a strange sound.  |

Could be a few things. If you can take the rev readings it'll give someone in the know a bit more of an idea what it could be. I don't really have anythigng more than a basic knowledge.
It may be the on board computer setting or a sticky throttle cable, or as Bazza said, something more related to the exhaust and air filter system.

It'll be the choke. Take it to a garage, they'll be able to adjust it for you.
