A fool's game to try to diagnose sounds many times removed from the original source but I will try.
To someone accustomed to driving a Lexus, yes the D24T makes quite a racket.
Can be louder and more acute when cold.
Detrimental for your hearing to stick you head down into the engine compartment when it is running.
Much quieter overall than a Cummins.
Volvo factory installed good hood and firewall insulation and gaskets with sound deadening properties.
I have heard the "marbles in a can" description refer to too far advanced timing.
