Default Is this how a Cayenne Turbo should sound (vid link)

Hi everyone - am shopping for a cayenne turbo to keep my 996 company. Found one, but hearing a high pitched fast ticking from the engine with the hood up - is it normal for a cayenne turbo to sound like this, or am I being overly paranoid? Love the power, can use the space as a daily workhorse.


Been reading up on usual problems - eg shaft bearings, bore scoring, airbags etc and hoping this noise isn't anything to worry about. Certainly don't hear any knocking going on. I'd want a prepurchase inspection, but the car is at a dealer so only a mobile inspection will work, and I doubt there's many mobile cayenne specialists in my area.

This sounds perfectly normal to me.

Sounds normal, but very difficult at times to diagnose over video. Doesn’t sound like knocking or slap IMHO.
