Default Engine running raw after 5k?

After about 5 thousand miles, my engine is sounding raw...what's goin on? Even my friends say it's loud, and I can feel it through the gas pedal. I feel like I'm driving a chevy here, help! I tanked it up last night and it seemed to run much smoother, but then this morning it's loud again. I have my 5k service scheduled in another week, so hopefully they can look at it, but does anybody know what this might be?

Also, I get a buzzing/rattling sound from the rear right deck speaker during deep bass, any ideas what that is too?

TIA guys!

Default Please expand on what you mean by raw? (m)

If it is a rattling sound, it could be the exhaust heat shield. I and other people on this board have had this come loose but the dealer should be able to fix it.

I am not sure about the rear deck, I have never had any noises from there but you might want to check the baby seat anchors. If these bolts are loose they might make buzzing and/or rattling sounds.
