Had the exact same thing on another car as well - exhaust shield was loose. Super easy fix...if can locate the loose part!

Thanks for the replies, it could very well be a heat shield but to clarify, it sounds more like a metallic ticking. II'll try to make a decent recrding but the regular engin/fan noise seems to drown it out.

Ok more info, I tracked down the noise to the rear of the vehicle and it occurs after I rev it and as the revs drops it almost sounds like a rapid ticking of an old school typewriter, must be somehting in the exhaust or in a muffler. Sound does not go away when at FOT. tried to make another recording but the background noise from the engine drowned it out too much. Will try agin.
