Loud Idle, not rough.... loud engine

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
doesnt idle rough, but the engine seems loud when idling and driving.
Wondering if its engine related or muffler/exhuast?
Doesn't seem to be exhaust..... sounds like its just a loud running engine.

Also to note... engine oil levels normal, just had oil change done.
not enough info...could be anything..from a ac clutch to an exhaust manifold gasket....
the car is driving perfect, no issues with performance. the Engine sound just appeared to be louder the last couple days. I thought maybe it was just at startup in the morning, as its been pretty cool the last few days. no driving issues. No need for new or more oil, oil levels at max. Exhaust noise doesnt sound louder when idle or driving. Not sure what other info to give.
my car does the same thing. replaced motor mounts, put in new wires and plugs and replaced radiator, changed oil. Car idles good and runs well but it's just kind of loud and noisy on acceleration.
