So I noticed this tapping/ticking noise that started about last month it definitely go in line with RPMs but just gets drowned out eventually. I have no idea if this is normal I’ve been told these cars are known for their random noises but wanted to see if anyone else has any similar issues. It sounds like a gas stovetop when it won’t ignite. The care has 58k on it and ive had frequent oil changes since i got it. no check engine or any dash warning lights on either.

here’s a link to the best video I have of the noise it cuts out for a couple seconds but it’s always constant

theres this other video i found that sounds almost exactly like mine except not nearly as loud

 

The engine is known for being noisy.

Is this noise worse at cold star? Any change in oil weight used? Any engine noise that's like a rattle?

Use a section of hose to try to narrow down the noise area. Check the upper passengers side of engine, mid passengers side of engine and valve cover.

 

The noise is pretty constant In volume cold start or not, and i notice it but only if I get close to the engine or wheels.I took a hose and I just hear near the left top part mostly but I can’t tell if it’s abnormal or not,it sounds kind of like a ticking as the video shows but no rattle or deep knocking that I can hear. I took it to the dealer and they said that they couldn’t find anything wrong and that on they’re diagnostic tools nothing popped up, so I’m clueless.
