Flapping noise at 2K revs Only when cold weather
Hello,
Annyone experienced a flapping like noise (I'd say coming from the engine) when at around 2K revs during colder conditions (50-60F)
If so, what is it and can I get rid of it?
Thanks!

Define flapping? I think of a large bird such as vulture flying over me in the desert as I walk on the 3rd day without food or water ready to eat me when the end comes... More seriously though my C32 has been feeling like it has a "cold" during these cold winter days...

Tempo=250 beats per minute
Sound=Close but not exactly to someone banging on the space bar of an old PC keyboard.
Volume= Noticiable enough to bother me but cannot be heard if window is open driving below 30.

Nothing to fix, since MB has changed the oil formulations from 0W-40 to 5W-40, the increased viscosity when cold prolongs the warm up time. Just warm the car up and don't rev or 2K until temps are up.

A teal Vespa with tassles and glitter. You know you're jealous.
I know I get a ticking noise on the passenger side when it is very cold or when the car has sat for a couple days. It is right on start up and lasts until the oil pressure is built up, this is at idle, I am almost 100% sure that it is a lifter ticking.. It is high up in the motor and sounds like a nail stuck in a tire ( best description) Once the pressure is up it goes away.
I have noticed a ticking/tapping sound (very similar to the sound in the link Budget Baller posted) when I accelerate ( when the car is warm), it is around 2k and it sounds very similar to an exhaust leak but I dont think it is that and its hard to pinpoint because I cant hear it once the windows are down but it seems to be on the pass side.
Budget Baller, any idea what that sound is coming from? I have taken a video of my car and it makes the exact noise, Was curious as to what it was.
Thanks,
Andrew
