I have attached a 16 second clip of new sound. It is coming from the Cylinder Head area on the engine, under the top cowling. Hoping someone on here can advise what they believe it to be. First Porsche ever, love it so far, only had it 3 months.
Has the sound been there since you bought the car? The direct fuel injectors on modern gasoline engines make a clicking sound, much like you hear on diesel engines.
You can hear the injectors by themselves in the following video as they are being bench tested in a shop. The 30 second mark towards the end is at idle rpm.
