It always sounds different in person but I was away from the car for 13 days. It sounded very ticky upon start up.
What do you think? Kinda reminded me of broken exhaust manifold bolts on other cars. 2017 4s with Soul 200s
Once the oil got up to the high 100s it seems to be gone.

Legs broken?

Being next to the another car might have amplified the normal tick of the engine.

Get a better video clip back by the exhaust.

That does seem quite loud but guessing per the poster above that it is sound reflecting off the other car. Hate to parrot what has already been said but can you use 5w50, if you are not currently using?

I'll be honest, that sounds exactly like my car ('17 C2) used to sound when I was running M1 0W-40 and it had sit a while (days). When I started it up and drove it down the street, I'd always get this tick tick tick noise until it warmed up. It went away completely when the engine was warm. If I drove the car more or less every day, I never heard the tick.

I switched to M1 5W-50 (still A40 approved) in Feb and have noticed now there is an almost complete absence of tick tick tick even after sitting for a few days.

I’ve been using mobil 1 a40 5w50 last few thousand miles (current mileage almost 7800) 991.2 T and I still get that ticking (almost slapping) noise if the car sits for a at least a few days. gone when warmed up. this thread a while back seems to describe it:

sounds like a typical stuck lifter since car has been sitting for a while..

^^ It appears you are correct. Here is video of the first start 24 hours later without the broken legs .

Glad your legs healed and the noise stopped. If this wasn't an advertisement for performing an Italian tune-up to keep the car healthy, I don't know what is.

Were you a Tampa fan before last season?

B Russ

Im not sure WTF that is.

Italian tune up - flog it like you stole it

I've had two 3.0's that sound similar after sitting for longer periods. I've also experienced a warm engine situation where there is some tick when sitting at a light stopped. I've noticed tick in 3.8's and 4.0's too. I wouldn't worry about it.
