My Ford Escape is brand new and I do not understand why is the engine THAT noisy when I start the engine.

fairly loud woosh after letting up on the accelerator
I feel that this issue should have been addressed during R&D of the product.In a sports car young people like to hear the release from the waste gate it's part of the power thing.In a family SUV not so much.My wife is very annoyed by the cycling heard from the air being vented under the hood.Why wasn't a recirculation valve installed to minimize or eliminate the air release sound?Love the vehicle and it has good power but not thought through.Ford should put out a service bulletin to address this issue.
Update from Mar 11, 2017: As stated in the oil smell complaint once the turbo charger vent was connected the noise has been reduced.Waiting now to see if oil smell gone completely after vent installed.

I got a lease on my car, fell in love with it from Lee Credit (now in Auburn Maine). Within two months time, the engine s*** the bed. It knocks extremely loudly, you can hear it through the walls of my house. It will cost about 2500$ to pay for a new motor and the labor. SO therefore it's been sitting my driveway. Please help, or give some advice on what I need to do. Lee Credit will do nothing about it, they won't even take the damn thing back.
