Picked up my new Redeye Friday. I hear a ticking sound when I'm inside in park idling, in gear or out. Can't hear it when it take off because of the loud exhaust. Sounds like passenger side rear. Anyone else?

My Hell Cat is a 2019,90days old and yes I have a ticking sound barely audible. "SRT" tech says that pretty much normal for the 6.2.

It's normal. This has been discussed many, many times. Not to worry!

Does it make a noise basically sounds like under the passenger side, sorta tick or makes you think the exhaust needs some adjustment?

Exactly. I’ve had the exhaust checked and it’s good. You only hear it at a cold start and not all the time. It’s really strange.

Basically at idle then it clears and sounds great here never noticed the cold start only, we like listening to that from behind the car. I was annoyed while it was new because the '15 did not do it. But, yes mine does it too. I have run my hand down the entire pipe, nothing, seems to be the way it sounds.

Somethings not right. I guess I’ll have to leave it at the dealership over night so my technician can check it out.

Let us know what they think. Unless something goes entirely to shit, they are not touching or even seeing mine. To me it sounds like it is pushing the actuators with the exhaust pulses because it is such a bad actor.

No, that is not it. We are talking about a noise that comes from the exhaust, UNDER the car. FYI I have a video of my current Hemi, and it don't tick at all under the hood.

I have voices in my head when I push the button. Is that normal or just Stern on the XM?? The ticking stopped when I took all the oil out then I heard the clanging then to knocking. Don't hear the ticking any more.

If it's a Hemi, it ticks. My 2004 HD Hemi had a slight tick, my 2012 Power Wagon has a slight tick, and my Hellcat has a slight tick. All three have done it when the vehicle is first fired up. After a few minutes and the engine warms up, it goes away.

Okay, we are NOT talking about the Hemi tick some hear from the engine. Matter of fact, my Redeye has no Hemi tick. I have owned a '06 6.4L with loud Hemi tick, my '15 was negligible on tick, several of our eight Jeep's including my current 5.7L has Hemi tick, the Redeye has none. I posted a quick video in my channel a few months ago, because this one don't tick.
The OP clearly describes what we are talking about. MINE DONT GO AWAY AFTER ITS WARM. I listened last night after a pleasing drive with the car. It is probably as benign as a Hemi tick, but it is a noise that seems like it comes from the right side exhaust under the passenger seat maybe just behind it. It is not possible to hear it except at idle. But OP, mine is identical to your description.
