At idle I don't hear any noise even when u Rev it up in neutral. When I'm driving at higher RPMs 1800+ I get a ticking noise that goes away when I accelerate or let off gas but coating it's loud.

Hi,

Are you able to tell about where the noise is coming from? If it was engine related, I don't feel it would stop when coasting.

Is the noise loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear?

Since you don't hear it at idle or revving it in neutral, it may be related to something other than the engine. Pay attention when you hear it to see if it changes with speed or if there is anything that causes it to change in pitch or volume. For example, when you turn does it get louder?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
