Weird ticking sound?
#28
But if it's an exhaust leak, wouldn't it be REALLY loud? Because it's not being silenced by the exhaust?
Revving the engine only increases the speed of the ticking. Not loudness. Sometimes it's a tick. Sometimes it's a hiss. Sometimes there's no sound at all. I will check under my car for any leaks.

Question, I get a noise too after the car has been driven for some distance (say 50 miles). Sounds like its coming from the mid pipe. Could an exhaust leak, even for a catless car cause the lean code to throw?

Alright guys. If anyone is still on this thread, I checked around my CAT for exhaust leaks and couldn't find any. Sparks plugs and wires are all good.
I started my car today and it sounds like a belt related noise. Today was the loudest! It had never been this loud. However, it quieted down as the engine got warm.
I know some of you are gonna say SSV, but that makes more of a rattling noise yeah?
Here's a video. Seems to come from under the engine.

What could this be? A belt? A pulley?

Have you tried running it momentarily with the belts removed? (With the engine warm as you will only want to run for a few seconds after starting, and I mean a few)

To everyone who's following this thread, I'm happy to say that the ticking sound has been solved. Turns out it really was an exhaust leak. That video video I posted sure sounded like a belt or a pulley to me.
I fought two lose nuts where the manifold meets the CAT. Tightened them up and the noise is gone :D
Big thanks to everyone who helped me out! Specially to the people who kept saying that it's an exhaust leak
