Default Engine ticking

Noticed anytime I go under a bridge I can hear a ticking noise coming from my engine. Has anyone had this problem? If so what was your fix??

Injectors, fan bearings, and of course... cam phasers. All of these are entirely normal sounds. I even recently posted a video in the below thread that demonstrates a close-up walk around of phaser noises.

Good luck!
