Help me diagnose this sound

Please help me diagnosis this ticking sound.

Seems to be tied to speed (increases in frequency with speed).

Thanks. It doesn't seem like it is tied to rpms. Just ground speed. My thoughts are wheel bearing. Pulling the right side this weekend.

If wheel bearing, sound should change as you turn the wheel left or right.

I assume you checked for a rock or nail stuck in your tire? Hopefully it's that simple.

Check your driveshaft for a sticker that is peeling back. It will slap the chassis and sound like it is coming from the shifter.
My dealer peeled it off for me on the lift. Solved.

I am not sure but from the speed you were travelling it seems that the tick frequency is higher the the wheel spinning, which means the tick is caused by the driveshaft maybe?

You were right!

The manufacturers label/tag/plate on the ds came loose and was doing the baseball card in spokes thing.

Everything checks out otherwise. Must take joy in the small victories.

I’m glad it was a simple fix.
Good job being in tune with your car and noting the small noise that wasn’t right !
Easy to overlook as savage as the cars can be.
