Hello,

Was this present for the whole time you own this car, or it just started?

It's a little hard to tell, it doesn't sound too out of the ordinary, at least as far as I can tell, could be a shim adjustment issue, but it is unlikely, especially if it doesn't change much as the engine warms up. Try getting a stethoscope to localize the sound a bit better.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
