Normal engine sound?

[sicksix]

Is this sound normal? It's not as noticable with hood closed, but when hood it up, it's very obvious. Does it at startup and during normal operating temp. Only has about 500 miles so far.

The thump thump thump yes the raspy raspy loose sounding washer not so much otherwise not really hearing too much out of the ordinary. The little raspy spinning nylon washer sound could be something and at the same time could be nothing. At least it’s not a knock knock whack boom poof …. Check the pcv or maybe even remove the cover and see what you can find but unless it gets louder, more aggressive or changes in characteristics I’d just keep the periodic eye / ear on it, enjoy, and take comfort in the warranty.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I did remove the cover and it doesn't make a difference. The sound seems to be coming more from the front passenger side of the block. I'll keep an eye/ear on it and see.

And sorry for my bad forum etiquette. Just saw a similar post with a very similar sound from same area of engine bay.

Mine has that raspy creaking kind of sound, I heard it in San Francisco when driving next to that big concrete barrier wall thing they have. I heard it reflecting off that. Noticeable at very low speed lightly pressing the gas then off again..raspy creaking kind of sound. I thought maybe it was the exhaust system heating and cooling. But now I don't think so. Any thoughts? Did you get any information on this ?
Thank you for reading

I've heard a lot of PCV valves rattle like that over the years. Not sure if the Mustang has that same type of valve still though.
