Ticking noise louder on right cylinder head

[c@@kieMonsta]

So the other day I noticed that the DI noise that I'm so accustomed to hearing on our engines, is a bit stranger on my car. I'm hoping nothing is wrong. I have the 3.0T and if standing in front of my engine with the hood popped open, the ticking sound is much more pronounced coming from the right cylinder head(left if I'm standing in front of it). The sound is can be localized to the top front of the head by the ignition coils. I just recently acquired the car so the noise had been like that ever since. I haven't noticed anything in terms of acceleration or driving. No check engine light is on. The car has just a hair over 60k miles. I'll post a video here later on tonight. Thanks for any input in advance.

Nvm, I think it's normal.

Sounds exactly like this guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqjyOGqGj_4

Did you discover anything with this noise?

The location makes it less likely a timing chain issue, if it is coming from the center of the cylinder head. That may be a touch of good news.

It's normal. Just like in the video. Found a ton of S4 owners sounding off - all said it's normal.
