Re: engine rpm
The RPM is about normal, you can't change its gearing anyway.
It's a small 4 cylinder. It has to make up for its lack of torque with higher RPM.
The noise?
I can't hear a darn thing from here but my TV set.
Could be anything.
Wheel bearing, choppy tire tread, exhaust, etc.
Have a pro give it a test drive for an opinion or an evaluation. Then you may need to do a little checking.
