OK I own a maxima ae,everyone tells me these engines sound like this but you guys tell me what you think, its not really loud only when you really have nothing around and just the car on can you hear it. Hopefully I'm just tripping

From the audio you posted, unfortunately all I can hear is normal. Perhaps someone else with better audio will hear something else. Or find another local to listen to it in person.

How is your oil level? It does sound like noisy injectors or lifters not getting enough oil.

Its not the audio quality, my audio quality is good what you hear in the video is what is heard in real life but a little more quite

use some TC-W3 2 stroke oil in the gas tank and see how it sounds after that. Check the Fluids and Lubricants section for the sticky on it.

Check your water coolant level also and check the radiator to see make sure it still flowing.
