Default Noisy idle!

Hey All,

Is it normal for the 2nd gen xB to have a loud 'rumbling' sound at idle? It's not causing any vibration that I can feel, but it's definitely noticeable and I'm certain it is not the radiator fan coming on (that's a very steady and quiet 'hum'). This sounds more like a rattling coming from the passenger side under the hood.

Faulty motor mount maybe?

This. You might be hearing the camshaft/valves/lifters.
