BRZ Knock/Rattle

[BRZnut]

I really can't hear it, but I remember when I first picked up my 2013 I was taken back by all the noise from this engine.

I think I have the same noise with an essentially stock 2016 BRZ. To me it sounds like a click/tap sound? I hear it between 2k-4k RPM when I blip the throttle (in gear or out of gear). One of my friends said it was just suction/intake noise. Had the dealership listen to it too and they said the same thing. I just chalked it up to being a normal quirk of this car

I think I heard my noise maybe once in your video around 7-8 seconds. It's a single quick click/snap when you stomp on the throttle, much easier to hear if you're free revving or downshifting blipping. This engine sounds a little different in the video maybe due to exhaust? I'm by no means an expert though so don't take my word for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
