Default Another "what is this engine sound?" question...

Another owner reported what I also would describe as a "soft ticking sound"-- https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-un...noise-1212348/.

But unfortunately, in that owner's audio file, I wasn't able to hear the sound I am curious about on my car.

This audio is taken from a couple feet away, moving around the car a bit, hood closed. Thanks for having a listen and any thoughts.

No idea what the sound is. Was the engine warm or cold? I can hear this sound on every s2k on cold startup, just not as loud.

Kind of sound likes my car before I replaced the pulley bearings. Remove your belt and inspect.

Thanks for the reply. This is cold. Actually I should have a listen when the car is warm as well.
