My 2018 Ecosport has always been great, but today I noticed a strange noise while pulling out of the garage at work. It only happens when the car is idle. Once I hit the gas, it stops. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? It’s a 4-cylinder 2.0 engine. Oil gets changed regularly, and there are no warning lights. My garage can’t check it until next week, so I’ll let it sit until then. Any thoughts?
Did you check the oil level on the dipstick?
Yes, the dipstick shows it’s fine. I just had the oil changed today at Walmart. They checked things and said my coolant is very low, so I’m going to top that up and see if it helps. I’ll keep everyone updated.
How many miles has the car done?

It’s at 132,000 miles, mostly highway driving.
Could be a rod issue.
Sounds like something might be loose, maybe the exhaust system?
