that sounds like the direct fuel injectors. Most cars with direct fuel injection make that sound. The car also has port injection.

Completely normal. Direct injection engines tend to have a ticking or tapping sound at idle. Drive any modern Kia/Hyundai or Honda, and you will experience the same thing. The IS 350 and 500 also exhibit similar characteristics.
