3.6 Engine noise (ticking noise or?), 2022 with 41k miles

[DrJeep]

Someone who is an expert please share your opinion as to what this noise is or its “normal”. The warm condition has a more pronounced ticking noise than cold.
I have two recording of engine. The first is a cold start at 25F.

The second is after 20 minutes which is pretty warm.

Mine has done that since new. It's normal to me, but might be a problem. I'm not too worried about it because I'm sure the dealership will just screw it up.

That sounds like normal injector noise to me. I think mine sounds the same. These 3.6 injectors are very "ticky" as compared to any other fuel injected gasser I've ever had.

Yes my 2020 sounds the same

Throw a can of STP in it and drive it like you stole it. If it's the cam it will go away soon.

Hey man - Can you please be a bit more specific? How would that fix it and can you share a link so I can order it online

 

[JTGuy]

just kidding , that won't fix anything. If that sound is the cam there isn't anything you can do at this point. It's going to die someday. Take it to the dealer to do what needs to be done. Don't add anything to the oil.

Sounds normal to me.

Sounds like the injectors clicky clackin' away like normal.

At least, that's how my truck has sounded for 35,000 miles now

Same. I’ve had mine since it had 6 miles on it. It’s always sounded like that.
