Does your car make this noise?

When accelerating or maintaining speed, I can hear what sounds like belts or something. Not very audible in the video, but i am in third at 3k rpms and keep lifting my foot on and off the gas every 3 or so seconds to portray the noise. It sound like rapid ticking.

FWIW these new engines are the reasons they have sound tubes, speaker engine sounds, noise cancellation noise makers, cabin piped in sound cancelers....whatever....There are uncommon noises that car engines make nowadays and customers aren't used to them. Nothing is necessarily wrong, it's just an unfamiliar sound....

sounds to me like it falls under this Technical Bulletin

#15-NA-040: Rattle or Flutter Noise When Switching Between V4 and V8 Operating Modes - Some customers may comment on a rattle noise at 48 km/h (30 mph) to 64 km/h (40 mph) when the engine is switching between V4 and V8 and/or notice fluid leaking from the bellow on top of the tensioner.

Correction
- If diagnosis in SI does not isolate the noise, replace the drive belt tensioner.

I'm with you man. I do not think that sound is normal, but I hope everything is okay.

I heard it, just have no earthly idea what I heard. Sounds like someone is firing a very tiny SAW in your air vent.

Must be those new lowered springs. Ha. I really didn't hear it, but I'm old and have been to a lot of rock concerts with no ear plugs. Hope you figure it out.
