just got this car about less than a month so still trying to figure out which is normal and which isn't.. sort of a 'ringing' (or weird whinning) sound when i started the car this morning.. this is the first time i've heard this..

Paculdo

oil temp was at 145F.. a few minutes of just letting the engine run (parked) the sound was gone (temp is at 160-165F if this helps).. is it because the engine is cold? also, the previous day that i started the car (it wasnt used for about 5 days and i just started it).. there's a loud ticking noise from the engine too.. eventually when the engine got warmer it disappeared..

i'll post the video later (will figure out how to attach the video from my iphone).. thanks in advance

Lifter bleed down or noisy can adjusters.

I heard that noise from my car a few weeks back. It was cold start, and I could hear it tick. As the engine temp got hotter the ticking got quiter.

Is this something we should be worried about, do we need to take the car in?

couldn't directly attach the video here.. will try to find a way to upload the video and place the link here.

I had y cam adjusters replaced under warranty for being noisy. Now it's going in for noisy lifters when hot.

can you help me figure the 'whining' or 'ringing' sound?
i checked again this morning but i didn't hear this.. not sure if this was just a one time thing.. hopefully no major issues.. also, never heard the ticking sound again.
