it may be the exhaust note, can you elaborate on the noise in more detail? :dunno:

could you be a little more specific? Where is it coming from? It could be something as simple as a lose bolt....

I've noticed the same sound.  When idling it sounds as if it is coming from the engine, maybe valve lash or the like I'm not sure.  But I was told by the dealer that is pretty standard.
