Hello all,
I hope everyone is doing well..
I have just recently purchased a 1.0 Corsa 2007. Car looks in impeccable state.. Very little used.. (atleast it seems)..
However after one long drive.. i realized that the car is too loud.. it sounds more like a diesel car than a petrol..
Further, there is this ticking sound that the comes from inside the hood...
apparantly it doesnt increase when i rev up..

i have recorded the sound.. it can be found here.. (can be played online- hence no download needed)

I would really appreciate any help in this regard.. Further, if there is anything else i need to provide to better diagnose the root of the problem. Please do share..

Thanks in advance..

Sincerely,
Ronnie

I know this is basics but have you checked the oil level?

Well that does increase as you rev it - sounds like the timing chain is worn. But don't go off a diagnosis via a audio clip as there's no sense of direction where the noise comes from. Either use a stethoscope or metal bar to check - or ask a garage to listen to it and give you their opinion.
