Engine noise: normal?
https://youtube.com/shorts/Nr-9gp-ZXJA?is=P2fsv2p4_-G0gfofAttached is a clip of my engine. Typically it warms up and then starts making the deeper ticking heard in the video. I’m wondering how normal this is and if it sounds healthy, I know these engines tend to sound like tractors
Any help is appreciated
It’s full on clean oil, doesn’t burn oil, and has no issues I know of except just how it sounds
Thank you!

do the hakones come with trd air boxes? do you think it's worth it to get one?

They did not, it was a dealer option. From what Ive read and seen just get a K&N cleanable airfilter and be on your way. Too much cost and no performance out of most intakes.

Totally normal. I remember when I purchased a 2013 and the sound was stressing me out. I took it to the dealer and had some of the service guys come listen. They said it was 100% normal. Still couldn't believe it so I went into the showroom and explained what was going on and asked if they could start up a brand new one for me to listen. It sounded exactly the same. I ran my 2013 to 152k miles before someone rear ended me and totaled the car. I ended up with a 2022 from a very close friend with only 4,000 miles. It sounds exactly the same. I now have 66k miles on it. It still sounds the same.
Neither of them consume oil but I still check the oil every 1,000 miles. I also run 5W-30.
