I just picked up a certified 2013 BRZ limited today and after I got it home I was sitting in the driveway setting up the radio and other things.. Once I turned off the audio I noticed the ticking from the driver's side footwell was pretty loud. I was expecting the direct injectors to be loud (I used to drive a VW TDI) but this seems a bit more than I was expecting.

Is it simply louder because the BRZ has less sound insulation than less sporty cars? I noticed an occasional "bump" in the idle as well but the RPMS stay fairly consistent.
