I've been listening to this clatter inside the cab of the truck for over a month, and it just goes away......

2010 Ford F150 - 5.4 Engine Noise - PS Wheel & Engine Bay - YouTube
Personally I hear injector noise for the most part, but there is a bit of background noise that I can't identify. The 5.4 is well known for loud injectors. On mine, they are not loud enough to hear in the cab with the windows up, but when the windows are down and you are close to on outside object, you will hear the sound bounce off that object. They don't call them the 5.4 Powerstroke for nothing.

The high pitched clicking is injectors, for sure.

But it's the lower pitched ticking/clattering that's worrying. It definitely sounds similar to the cam phaser noise the 04-08 5.4s do.

Defiantly injectors, the other noise could possible be a VCT solenoid. I think there is a TSB about it claiming normal noise ( went through this with Ford) i have the paper work at home.
