How to stop 2yo DS from making motorbike noises?

[energywavering]

He does it A LOT, and really loudly, for example every morning when he's eating breakfast, and then basically at least once every 30 mins throughout the day.
I've told him mummy doesn't like the noise and it hurts mummy's ears (it's really loud engine noise that he makes), but he still does it.
Not only this but he's so clingy that I'm always right next to him when he does it - it drives me crazy!
He's totally normal, well no one has said otherwise, but he's very whiny, clingy, loud and hard work, how can I help him behave better?

He needs to learn what quiet is before you ask him to be quite. There's a loud and quite sing (basically shouting the word Loud, then whispering quite to a tune). Once he knows if he's been loud, you can talk about appropriate times and places to be loud or quiet (eg. Loud in the park and quite in the house).

In the meantime, you could try to replace the motorbike noise with something less annoying, would he join in with a nursery rhymes if you started singing?

Could I'd be a sensory thing.? Perhaps keep a eye out for autism

I'm trying to imagine the noise

Wins for helpful comments of the day.

@Sprogonthetyne has summed up what I was going to say.

Focus on indoor voice ( mimic it) being nice and quite , nursery rhyme, story time ect and outdoor voice where we roar and play motorbike ect.
Is he in nursery yet? My sons ( also 2) nursery are really good at this so we mimic it at home.
I will say at 2 it's tough to get them to listen so these are just suggestions. Good luck

I would try ignoring it for a few days, it sounds like he's getting a reaction every time and this means he gets attention for behavior you don't like

Just a phase. Ignore it.

Trying to make a toddler not do something does, in my experience, work briefly and then exacerbate the problem long term.

I had a year long fight over banging the kitchen table until I decided to join in in a very boring way. He stopped basically immediately because it wasn't fun anymore

Just a phase, I'd say. Be glad it's not high pitched screaming. (Would've jumped at motorbike noises...)

I would t draw attention to it. He's too young and it will make it worse. It's either a phase or he's verbally stimming for whatever neurological reason. Either way the only real option is distraction. Try chewllery? Having something that provides oral sensory feedback might help.

He is concentrating when he does it? My 7 year old does a humming noise when he’s concentrating on something. I assume he will grow out of it at some point!
