ticking sound from front (dash / engine)

There is another thread on this where Mark managed to capture the noise.

Some mentioned injectors but I don’t think it is engine speed dependent. Seams to be the same noise tempo regardless of engine speed.

I doubt it's injectors, they're unlikely to just tick like that.

Another idea, does everyone with the noise have b&o?

Another thing I’ll need to test is if it is any louder or quieter depending on efficient, sport and plus. There are some days I don’t hear it. Wondering if it is because I left it in efficient. Cold and rainy season so I don’t drive it as much now but will try these things eventually.

I have B&O. What about everyone else?

^ Premium HK here as I've said and no ticking at any rev range, efficient right up to sport +.
You sure it's not that troublesome B&O centre dash speaker that goes up and down.

I put BMS intakes on my car today and noticed that noise to a certain degree as well but it’s definitely coming from the turbos being spooled up because I only hear it once I hear boost build and the waste gates open I feel like it’s the wastegates fluttering from the turbulent air.
