Default Strange ticking noise coming from under the hood..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeHIe...ature=youtu.be

I just noticed a really weird ticking noise coming from the car. I'm not sure if the car just sounds like this normally or what. I've never really stood by the hood before while the car was on. It's a 2013 Ralliart with 498 miles on it. You can hear it very clearly while the hood is on. You can't hear it when you're inside the car. The noises occurred while my car was warm.

Is this something I should worry about? I searched around a bit and a lot of people seem to think it's normal. I just want to make sure nothings wrong so I don't end up hurting the car.

Thanks.

The sewing machine noise is pretty normal. For peace of mind cruise by a dealer to have it listened to. And listen to another couple 2-3 EVO Xs or RalliArts while you are there if they tell you it is normal and you dont believe them for some reason. Either way get the noise issue logged. If you do have a problem later on, you have proof that you said "hey, this thing is kinda noisy" when it was all brand new.

I'll look into it more. I don't know anyone else with a RA/Evo in my area (I live in Costa Mesa, CA) so I'll probably head to the dealer. I need to go there anyways and figure out what I can do as far as modding goes.

I live in Costa Mesa over by the Lab and the Antimall...

I got my RA almost 6 months ago and it makes that ticking noise too.

There's a Lancer/RA/Evo meet tonight if you want to cruise... We meet every Thursday
