Wondering if anyone else have this noise. When driving by a wall or anything that bounces noise back I can hear rapid tapping/ticking noise from somewhere under my car. The noise isn't present when idle and seem to get louder as the engine warms.

Possible driver side exhaust midpipe leak (common, warranty will replace). Otherwise, I hear similar noises in my Mustang, Durango, and Toyota Camry I had before the Durango. Each car working perfectly. Just a reflection of a noise that happens to break through the rest of the hubbub.

Have the same, appears normal, therefore I ignore it.

I've been wondering if it's a leak somewhere. Will go get it tested out.

I’m getting the same exact thing, any updates from anyone in this thread?

I’m scared that this is one of those bbq tick issues but it sounds different i.e. not as intense. It only happens in sport mode and light throttle. I also did switch to an H-pipe so I’m hoping it’s just a leak.

Update to this issue.

Haven't been driving my car much over the past few months but this morning, seemingly out of nowhere, the tick/clattering got extremely loud. So loud that I can hear it reverberate in a small street. It's a ticking noise during clutch engagement and acceleration up to about 3k rpm and then it gets drowned out. Throw gear into neutral while moving and the sound goes away. Took it to a long time mechanic pal, says that noise is coming from between the motor and drive shaft area so he deduced that it's from the bell-housing, likely from something loose around the pressure plate. Don't know if this is related to the original issue but I've left the car at the dealer for now.
