Wanted to provide an update to this thread. I rigged up 4 mics under the hood with 24 Bit recording, even if you are bad speakers you can visually and audibly hear the valvetrain noise I am speaking about associated with the cam angle change. I also included the log view of these events.

Here are the logs to accompany the video:





UNDER HOOD VIDEO WITH PRO MICS TO CAPTURE SOUND:








My main hobby is computer audiophile (I've got quite the setup.). The noise couldn't be more identical except your's may be louder. My car is 100% stock and this started when the dealer flashed for the very first CEL light flash fiasco, fall 2012. Mine kicks in a little higher rpm more like 4.5k but I keep my eyes on the road so that might be off.


I haven't shifted over 3-4k since I first started hearing it (unless absolutely necessary), I figure this will all get sorted out eventually. There are quite a few posts of broken cams on here so this car is just a commuter now. Its still fun around the twisty's at 3k rpm. Don't have the time or energy to fight it.


With romraider/ecuflash coming I think the famous anti-EcuTek east coat Subaru gurus will sort tuning these cars and get these engine running right. Stock it just doesn't.
