Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Rat like noise at Idle from the engine bay

I went out to start my car up after a long standstill and I noticed a rat like noise coming from the engine bay.
It only seems to be there at idle and it's not consistent. It makes the noise at non-rhythmical pattern.

I tried to catch the noise on my phone cam but it's hard to notice due to other mechanical noises.

Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

(it was 3degree Celsius outside, my car has been parked for a week)
