OP, pretty sure your car is just fine.
I think would have gotten "crickets" across to us if that was it. OTOH, I don't think my cooling fans have ever run at idle. Are they super-quiet?

Eh, it sounds like any other 4-banger to me at idle, the direct injection however does tick away like a commercial vehicle.

Heavy load low rpm (<1700) on this engine does sound like a tractor no question.

Does it make the sound with the A/C OFF .. ??

Are the cooling fans running when it's making the sound.. ??

If so, you may check and make sure a piece of trash is not coming in contact with the fan blades.

Did it just start doing this .... ?? If so, have you done any engine related mods since it started .. ??

Come back with more info; maybe we can help .....

Upload it to a video service like youtube or any one of the others, and then you just link it here.

I can only imagine how many threads of the same name we'd have if this was a rotary forum...

Yep, like @wheelhaus says, upload your video to U-Tube, then U-Tube will give you a link you can reference.

So after searching this forum more, I have decided that this sound/sounds like the crickets and DI sound others explain...
Thanks for your guys input and I am not as worried that the former owner had damaged my FRS engine.
