Hey guys, new hemi bro here. I have a 2020 5.7 etorque with 48k miles at the moment and have recently discovered a faint sound. I’m pretty familiar with cars and sometimes I can feel like something might be off.

I’m currently having a faint tick coming from the front passenger side. The exhaust manifolds have been recently replaced about 5-10k miles ago by previous owner at the same dealership. However, this faint tick is only audible at the ~20-30ish mpg and 50ish mph with cruising throttle while it’s in Eco mode.

I’m thinking this tick might be coming from the MDS system when it goes down to 4 cyl and the cams are ticking? Is this normal? Are others hearing this? It’s faint enough that my phone can’t pick up the recording but I can hear it in the cabin while cruising with all windows and and radio off.
