Engine noise - any ideas what this could be 😭

Can you be more specific? This sounds like a normal engine to me.

This is just how the ecoboost engines sound. The ticking sound can be unnerving, but it's normal

I believe the ticking or pulsating you are hearing is the injectors pulsating we hear. Thats all

As other's said, it sounds normal.
On cold start, the GDTI engines sound like a clattering diesel.
But it does sound louder than usual. It's difficult to say on an uploaded video or sound file.
Check the oil level.
If you're still concerned, take it to your local shop or dealer to have it checked out.

The clicking sounds are electronic fuel injectors doing their thing. This sound is louder when the engine is cold.

You have no issue here.

Hey where’d the engine cover go?

Sounds like something got stuck in the hampster wheel, usually they are not as noisy, lol.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Mine is doing the same thing. the tapping sound is more prevalent on acceleration when the engine is cold. the tapping seems to subside about 15 minutes later when the engine warms up. Does any one know what this is. Also I just bought this Outerbanks with the 1.5 ecoboost. Only has 400 miles. My wife has the same Bronco but a 2023 same engine and I do not here this tapping sound like an old sewing machine. I took it to the dealer and they said its the high pressure fuel pump and there is nothing wrong. However, my wifes does not do this and hers is out in the cold and mine is in the garage and i'm tapping like this. Any ideas?
