    There is a steady , rhythmic clicking noise coming from the rear engine compartment at idle, clearly heard even when radio is on at a low volume. it sounds like small panel or mechanical noise, like an open/close mechanism that runs constantly right behind or underneath the upper front dash. I asked a mechanic about it at a Ford dealership a few years ago and was told it doesn't hurt anything and can't be fixed.

    A turbine type sound is heard when accelerating and also I believe even after I have reached speed.
