my car has the standard slight tick sound at idle as well, but its not THAT loud. it did sound like that before the recall was done but after it quieted down alot. i would take it back to the dealer just to be certain

You could hear the ticking sound in the cabin . The car did not sound like this before the recall.

Sounds normal to me. Both IS 350's I've owned have made the same sound. It's the DI system.

I think that's normal. Best way to know for sure.. find another 350 and hear both engine side by side.
