does your car still make this noise? Im concerned too, my car just started doing it a month ago, its at 129k. My mechanic jack german car in santa ana said it could be that intemediate shaft, he wants to drop a rebuild engine 13k. that alot. It doesnt sound right on my NA 99 996. the sound doesnt go away. At idle its low, when you drive it, its like a can getting louder. Jack checked the plugs they were fine, we were thinking something might be hitting this.. this really cant be normal .. and safe to drive..

Ok, a couple weeks ago I noticed that it was making some different/weird noises at idle when fully warmed up. It doesn't do it all the time. Maybe 3-4 times in the past 2.5 weeks. It only does it when warmed up (and not always). Oil is roughly 4 months old but topped off with new oil every so often (I travel alot so the car sits for some time). I checked to make sure that the oil wasn't low (according to the computer). Car otherwise seems to drive fine.

Part of what I hear is the same as mine, but I hear something else knocking in yours. I have confirmed from multiple sources including an engine builder here in SD that the rattle is normal. The guy that had his repaired, for $10k, ended up with the exact same noise... He's now suing the Indy.
I would dig a bit deeper with yours to make sure the normal rattle these cars make is not maskng something else.
Good luck... This stuff can take some of the joy out of driving can't it?
