Does anyone hear a noise in the engine.

So I just purchased a brand new 200t 2016 and I would have imagined it being more quiet. It's not a hybrid but still. Ive drove smalls car that were noisy but because i needed to check my engine- something was going on. I don't know if its my paranoia. Just want to know. Thanks!
