I’m unsure of what it is and where it comes from so any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. It speeds up with revs and just when slightly accelerating get really loud and can feel it through gear stick. It’s constant and has a 1 second gap between each time it ticks. Quite literally sounds like the word tick.
