Default Engine direct injection doesn't sound smooth

Hey guys, anyone know why my engine sounds like this? The ticking noise is not smooth. It starts sound like this this morning, but went away later in the day...

The car is a 2012 IS250 fsport. My dealer replaced cam gears a year ago.

In the recorded video you can hear the injector sound interrupts here and there. It doesn't sound continually. This happens when the idle settles after a cold start. I just wondering if I should worry about it.

Bump

Anyone can explain why it does this? Bad fuel or something? The car drives normal though.

Bit hard to diagnose but...

1. Could be a bad ground - take off your battery terminals, clean them thoroughly with bi card soda, water, metal brush. See if that fixes the issue, if not...

2. Get your injectors ultrasonic cleaned. Might be slightly clogged.

P.S I don't believe in injector cleaner bottles lol
