Most O2 sensor problems should set a check engine warning; otherwise, the manufacturer would probably be in violation of EPA and CARB regulations.
In older cars, with less sensitive on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems, and unheated O2 Sensors, it may be possible for an O2 sensor to become partially contaminated, and not set the check engine light. In this case, your fuel economy would be degraded slightly, but the vehicle might still meet emissions.
Hence, there would be No check engine light. Aside from the slightly degraded fuel economy, the car would still run normally.

That is a warning light to "check your engine". Visit a mechanic and have them use a computer code reader to check for a trouble code. On a 2005 there is a good chance that you may have a bad sensor, such as an oxygen sensor.
Can a bad 02 sensor cause your engine to make a noise?
Not likely. A bad O2 sensor would illuminate the check engine light and the engine performance would suffer.
How can you disable the check engine light for an o2 sensor?
replace the bad sensor and it will turn off.
