on a 1.6D?

Get a loud exhaust sound track on CD and turn the volume up.

There's a few easy ways to make your car louder

- buy a petrol
- Fit a k&n panel filter
- I'm sure there's a stainless exhaust for your car
- Have you local mechanic remove the rear box and weld a length of pipe in it's place
-Have your local exhaust outfit make you up a one-off stainless exhaust
- Remove the undertray and engine top cover, drive with windows down

Hope this reply is better than a few of the suggestions above

tie empty baked bean cans to a piece of string and tie the other end of the string to your car. That will make it louder.

Louder in what way?
I hope you have never owned a Corsa with a cherry bomb grinding the speed bumps in McDonald's car park!
