Hey everyone, this morning as I was driving up a parking garage I heard a clicking/flapping noise coming from the front. The only reason I heard it is because my front windows were down and the sound happened as I was accelerating up (about 1-2k rpms). The sound only happens when I accelerate and clicks a bit faster once I give it a bit more gas. Any idea what this could be? It almost sounds like something's loose / metal not tightened all the way somewhere. Just had the 10k service completed a couple of days ago so I'm thinking of swinging by the dealership today to let them know.

^^ Stopping by the dealer is not a bad idea if they are easily accessible - The other advice is also provide an audio recording, it is really hard to determine a noise without being able to hear it.

Just go to the dealer. You're within warranty. That's exactly what they're there for.

Is it a light ticking sound? The injectors make a ticking sound that will increase with RPM and is completely normal.

Also, the manual says our cars can knock (also a type of ticking sound) a little when in low gear and going up an incline. If you were going up in a packing garage that could have been it too. Also completely normal.

For sure, thanks y'all. Just wanted to post here in case folks experience the same thing by the way, the clicking sound in the videos is extremely faint, but will let you guys know what the service tech tells me.

Yep, this may be it. Just posted some audio files, let me know what you think.

Are you the same guy I met at the dealership today? I had the blue ISF.
