    Absolutely normal, nothing to worry about.

    It gets louder at idle when the cleaning cycle kicks in.

    Sounds normal to me. My 2017 is noisy as hell and that's just the way it is. What does the oil look like?

    I don't know...
    The flutter sounds normal. There's some kind of clacking sound underneath the flutter, I don't think is normal.

    Take it to a dealer or trusted mechanic for an oil change and have them do a once over.

    The kanuter valve timing may be out.:D
