    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Would like to get opinions and thoughts on what the tapping noise is.

2015 Hyundai Genesis Engine Noise. Manual mode around 3k RPM (2nd/3rd gear) is easiest to hear and replicate it. But I can hear it other times normally.

Noises in video:

1. Engine revving - normal
2. Loud phone handling noise
3. Low "wobble" at around 20 seconds - don't think that is anything. Right after the u-turn.
4. Tapping noise throughout - consistent with RPM. You can also "feel" it a little bit in person. And its more substantial in person.

Note: Depending on speakers, its hard to hear, faint, or pretty easy. My cell phone speaker is pretty clear, my desktop speakers is a little more muffled.


Might be related to the metal shavings post:
 
Is it only with the engine running? Have you tried putting it in nuetral/ turning the engine off at the speed it normally happens and seeing if the sound still persists?

No, I don't think I've ever tried that. And unfortunately I can't try as I don't currently have possession. However, based on my tests, it happens only under some level of load. Meaning, if I get it up to the 2k to 3k RPM range, I can hear it when I've got my foot on the gas, but it disappears when released. If i recall correctly.
