Any ideas what this sound could be?

(video of noise) Over the last few days, my truck will make some kind of gargling tick type sound for a few seconds when its at a lower speed until I press the gas pedal then it goes away. Kinda hard to hear in the video, but if you listen closely you will notice it

Our RAM made some 'noise' or whatever I think in 4th gear. I upgraded to Octane 91 (from 89) and it went away!

It's a faint sound in the background on the video, didn't pick it up that well, but it is louder in person. Its like a ticking sound as I start slowing down and coasting that goes away after I accelerate

hmm...I would go around and check every tire for a nail or screw . When you have a nail or screw in the tire, it makes a slight tick-tick-tick at slow speed, but goes away when you start moving faster.

May be a little bit easier to hear it in this video

I really can't tell anything from the video.

A common problem is broken exhaust bolts. Do a search on here and you will see, perhaps that is what you are hearing. It would tick more at low rpm and blend together as you speed up.

Not being smart at all friend but I can literally only hear a wind sound. Is it a added whirring noise on the road that sounds like wind we are supposed to be hearing? If so, what kind of tires do you have on your truck & size?

It’s very hard to hear it in the video, but it sounds like a gurgling / ticking noise

Your explanation sounds like what’s happening, so I’ll have to check them out, thanks!

Try this one and see if it might apply. Just a suggestion.

Exhaust Leak-Muffler

2019 Big Horn, 5.7 eTorque. Noticed the truck sounding louder on cold starts over the last couple of weeks, getting a little worse daily. Finally got a time where I could cold start and check the exhaust, and the gasket between the converter pipe and the muffler is leaking. Exhaust hasnt been...
