No, a dead battery typically will not make any noise when starting a motorcycle. When a battery is dead or has insufficient power to start the motorcycle, you may not hear any sound at all when attempting to start the engine.
In a typical scenario, when you turn the key or press the ignition button with a dead battery, you may notice the following:
No sound: The motorcycle may not make any noise or sound when you try to start it. The engine won't turn over, and there will be no attempt to start.
Dim or no lights: The lights on the instrument panel, headlights, or other electrical components may be dim or not functioning at all. This is a common sign of a weak or dead battery.
Clicking sound: In some cases, when the battery has some charge left but not enough to start the motorcycle, you might hear a rapid clicking sound coming from the starter solenoid. This sound indicates that the starter is trying to engage but doesn't have enough power to turn the engine over.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's likely that your battery needs to be recharged or replaced. It's a good idea to have the battery tested and the charging system inspected by a professional at a motorcycle shop to determine the exact cause of the starting issue.
