Name that tapping noise...
My 07 is250 has a bit of an incessant tapping noise going on. Not sure if it's normal or if something is wrong. Lexus dealership took a look at it but concluded nothing was wrong. It's a fairly loud tapping noise. Here's a video of where it's coming from in the engine compartment http://youtu.be/JYMYjSoKEl4
Here's one more video up close http://youtu.be/FyOnc7wyjKI
....not sure if I'm uploading it right so let me know if it doesn't show.......any thoughts or wild guesses?

I'm pretty sure my IS350 doesn't make that noise (esp. that loud I assume it will be heard even with the hood closed).

With the hood closed it's much more muffled......but I have read about this being a common sound from the injectors. It just seems so out of place when it's idling. Could be a perfectly quiet engine otherwise.
Is there any way to reduce or completely eliminate the sound? My last car had a ping that sounded similar....so noises like this make me irritated.
