Impulsively generated magnetohydrodynamic waves in a typical EUV solar coronal loop are studied numerically with a use of the three-dimensional FLASH code. Our results reveal several 3D effects such as distinctive time signatures which are collected at a detection point inside the loop. A slow magnetosonic wave generates a significant variation in a mass density profile with a time-scale of the order of s. A fast kink wave affects a mass density too but its magnitude is much lower than in the case of a slow wave. Time-scales which are associated with the fast kink wave are generally lower than in the case of a slow wave; they are in the range of a dozen or so seconds. Temporal signatures of a fast sausage wave reveal s oscillations in the quasi-periodic phase. Impulses which are launched outside the loop excite few seconds oscillations in the mass density. Time-signatures depend on a position of the detection point; they are usually more complex further out from the exciter.
