2021 3.0 Idle Sounds?

[Toshi]

Hello I just picked up a freshly built 2021 3.0 Premium and I just wanted to know if the idle sounds it makes are normal? The sound when I put the camera under the tire is the one I'm most suspect about. How does your Supra sounds compare? (yea i'm paranoid)

Sounds interesting.
Should be OK could be new belts but something is tapping in background.

I will tell you that direct injection is LOUD. Ticks very loud. I think if you had a problem the CEL would be on. Just take it to the dealership to confirm.

the ticking- sewing machine noises sound normal. I do hear a "rattling" noise that i do not hear in mine.
almost like if a pulley was a little loose. Not saying it is just trying to describe what i hear form video

I do have that same faint sound at idle on pass side of engine. Not the injectors but the other noise. I'm planning to investigate further when I have time, car is on lift in garage for some other installs, spring prep.
My car only has 340 miles, I noticed it right before putting it away for winter.

EDIT: Note that mine is a 2020. It is definitely the same noise.

Hi
I have the exactly the same noise with yours too. You can hear the same noise on the turbo side and lower clicking noise on the other side. It’s normal.

I did not realize my car sounds like a Chinese child labor sewing factory..!

hey did you figure it out.. is this normal? I picked up mine 2022 supra and with 300 miles on I realized its making this noise.

Seems normal to me

Honestly, you guys need to put significantly more miles on the engine before you worry about 'suspicious' noises. New components can sometimes actually make more racket before they wear in together a little bit more.

Also, these aren't Lexus LS or Mercedes S-Class luxury machines engineered to be absolutely silent in operation; they're sports cars designed to be visceral and mechanical in nature.

Just my $.02
Merry Christmas!

Okayy i got worried for a second that its a new car it shouldn’t be ticking like that. Does your sounds like this also?
