    Trying to decide if this is a normal noise that I’ve never noticed until today, or if it’s something more concerning. It’s a high pitched tap that has a sort of rhythm to it. Doesn’t sound like any of the usual valve-train or injector noise I’m accustomed to. Starts around the 4 second mark, might have to turn your volume up or wear headphones to hear what I’m talking about (it’s echoing off my retaining wall).

    Trying to avoid going there until I can narrow it down more. I know if I take it right now they’ll say they don’t hear anything.

    I figured that if you could catch it on video it must be pretty noticeable.

    could a leaf have gotten into your blower?

    No it’s definitely in the engine bay. Problem is I can only hear it when I’m driving next to something with the window down.
