I noticed while driving today that around 4k rpm I can hear a slight resonating noise coming from the engine bay under partial throttle acceleration. I can alsoreplicate the noise while out of gear if I hold revs at around 4k. It's kind of hard to describe the noise. It's like a faint resonating ticking/squeal type sound of some sort. If I had to take a guess I'd say it sounded valvetrain related maybe? Not sure if this is just due to the rough reving nature of the VQ. Just wanted to see if anyone noticed anything like this, and if so is it normal
