You have an old car or it's about to be broken.
A loud ticking sound near the engine could indicate a problem with the engine's valves or lifters. It's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the issue to prevent any further damage to the engine. Ignoring the sound could lead to more serious issues and potentially expensive repairs.
Clocks generally produce a soft ticking sound. The ticking noise can vary depending on the type of clock and its mechanisms, but it is usually not very loud.
Leaves rustling at a distance. A ticking watch is twice as loud!
A sound at 15 decibels is not very load. It is equivalent to the sound that watch makes when ticking.
depends on the exaust and size of the engine..
It could be one of the injector fire seals. There is a forum post dedicated to the Citroen C3 injector fire seals here: http://citroenc3owners.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12 and a youtube video demonstrating the sound of a leaking fire seal (ticking or chuffing sound) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgZ-B0Ccafg or, it could be the crank pulley. There is a video of the sound a worn crank pulley makes and information about the parts required to fix it at http://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-citroen-c3/citroen-c3-2002-1-4-hdi-engine-makes-loud-ticking-noise-t290.html
It's not the train that's loud, it's the engine
It's not the train that's loud, it's the engine
that probably means its time to get a new car
A loud ticking sound from your water meter could be due to the internal mechanism responsible for measuring water flow. This ticking noise is typically normal operation and helps track water usage. If the sound suddenly changes or becomes excessively loud, it's best to contact your water utility to ensure everything is functioning properly.
harmonic balance maybe bad
The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.
