Hi, new member here, apologies if this has been already discussed.
I purchased a new 2021 CX5 Grand Touring AWD a couple of weeks ago. A few days after the purchase, I noticed the engine and tailpipe making some noticeable sounds like a jackhammer, even at idle. I guess I didn't notice this on the test drive. Are these sounds normal? I thought I needed to break the car in more, but even at 500 miles, these sounds are still there. For reference, a good friend of mine has the exact same car (has put about ~5000 miles on it so far) and their car sounds a lot smoother near the engine and tailpipe. I am a little concerned that something is off...
Video of engine. Jackhammer-like sound coming from driver-side (US orientation) of the engine. As video pans left towards the passenger side, you'll hear the softer but higher pitched tap-tap-tap sound coming from the pulley area:

Appreciate your thoughts on this! Many thanks...
