I think I have a really terrible ear for engines... I probably wouldn't even be able to tell if my engine was knocking.
Wow...mine is pretty loud and well beyond being subtle. It bothered me a bit at first but since I know it is normal I try and tell myself that it sounds....ok

You can't hear the clicking while sitting in the car and the windows rolled up. But you can if you are standing outside of it, or at a drivethrough.

The clicking is due to the direct injection, but i think Audi has somehow fixed it in their cars where they don't get this noise.

I can totally be wrong on that last part. But I did think i read it somewhere that Audi's FSi does not have the clicking noise.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? I ONLY MADE THAT STATEMENT BECAUSE ANOTHER CAR COMPANY WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME THIS CLICKING ISSUE (I THINK)

Dude, get a life!
