The sentence is written in active voice, but shifts to passive voice in the middle. To correct this shift, maintain consistency in the active voice. Instead of saying "a terrible sound was heard", rephrase it as "the car made a terrible sound." This keeps the subject (the car) performing the action (making a sound) clear and consistent throughout the sentence. By using active voice consistently, the sentence will be easier to read and understand.

The car made a terrible sound when Andrew started it. To fix the sentence, just say “the car made a terrible sound” instead of “a terrible sound was heard.” This way, the sentence stays clear and easy to follow.
