If some of you are curious, yes, I like to kick dead horses. But being that this car and its issues are new to me and my search results have been *somewhat* inconclusive, I'm looking for some help.
-Ticking/tapping noise mostly from the front passenger side of engine
-Most noticeable at hot idle and almost exclusively at idle
-Seems to be rhythmic/consistent with idle speed(it's not a sporadic noise)
-No change at all if AC is on or off
-My car is a 13 with stretchy belt(no tensioner/idler)
-Drives normal otherwise and feels like it has normal power
-Please tell me it's normal or you have had the exact same noise for the entirety if your ownership
