@ 11k miles, they said its normal dont worry about it its a subaru.

sounds 100% like this

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIlHnd39iHU"]Scion FRS, Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 engine rattle noise after warmed up. - YouTube[/ame]

in the comment the person who uploaded this said he replaced vacuum pump

automatic brz/frs has 2 vacuum pumps, the noise passenger side is exactly where the pump is.
Noise would go away when depressing the brake pedal couple of times(enough to hear air whistling) and the tapping noise goes away

but nope they changed short block and now has problems that never been there lol while still retaining the tapping noise
