I have also noticed this annoying sound on my GTS and it has been checked over by Porsche twice but they only say it is normal sound from this engine, not giving any further explanation to what the sound is.
I had a 981 GTS before and that did not sound like this in any way and I have been quite annoyed by the sound to be honest. I have from friends that are more knowledgeable regarding engines been time that the annoying sound is coming from the piezo injectors and the high pressure fuel pump.
Does anyone here know if the 992 carrera has got the same construction and makes the same sound? As I understand it the 4.0 is based on the 992 carrera engine..

And in fact the piezo injector system for the 3.0l and 4.0l engine are of the same design.

I should add this to my prior post:
Assuming the ticking noise is actually not performing as intended,....

I’m just getting my car out and about and I’m hearing it too. Sounds like a sticking lifter from my old V8 days.
It is annoying, I hope I start to tune it out.
Does it start to disappear over time?

At the risk of sounding like a hater, I have to say the 718 GT4 is the worst sounding Porsche I've owned from the factory. Yes, subjective, I know, but to me its just really underwhelming for a GT car. I'm hoping the Soul exhaust will change my opinion, since sound is such a big part of the experience for me. YMMV

I still don't have your old Soul Race Exhaust installed yet! But I am very much looking forward to it. Because...

Hey Nathan....I figure you were talking to me. The exhaust will be a big improvement but got to agree with you...the sounds from this engine are not good.

Okay, I’ll have to learn to ignore it, thanks.

My 991.2 got a lot quieter when I changed the oil to 5/50 from 0/40...I will do the same on the Sypder when it gets changed and maybe it will have the same result.
