Strange grinding noise from engine 2gr-fks

Any ideas on what this grinding noise is that comes and goes every second or two?? 2023 tacoma v6. https://youtu.be/uyt-vNcMv4U?feature=shared

 

This is your 3rd thread on this. Not trying to be rude but at 2500 miles and how concerned you are, it sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order.

 

Hard to tell because of all the other engine noise going on but that sounds like a heat shield rattling to me. Maybe on the cat.

 

Yeah it could be but when it starts that noise you can feel it when your hands on the engine. The truck idles so rough the cab shakes (only when in gear)

 

Yes sir I’m going to the dealer Tuesday and I’m curious what people think on this forum who are a lot more knowledgeable about these truck then I am

 

is your a/c pump cycling?

it really sounds normal to me. yes, the toyota DI motors sound like tractors.

 

Pay attention to the grinding noise it’s making off and on. Not the ticking and knocking noise

 

No
