Yeah it was windy The ticking noise seems mostly from the passenger side, while the sucking noise seems to come from the driver side not sure if it's the front or back. I put my hand on the timing chain cover and didn't feel any vibration there, either. No CEL, engine seems to run great, accelerates smoothly, no stumbling or hesitation. Will do some more listening and try to make a better recording.
