The first couple seconds is me showing where the noise is generally coming from, but you can hear it as well. It's a popping noise. Then I put the mic closer to hear it louder. What could that be?

sounds like your timing belt cover is loose. Apply pressure to the cover and see if the sound goes away.

Yeah. I did timing belt and water pump about 3k miles ago.

Another thing, this noise only comes out when I'm at nominal temperature.

Its the trans coupler inverter shaft bearings behind the oil pump, for sure.

Seems likely... Previous owners sound like they didn't know what "maintenance" meant. I'm just fixing things as they break. The belts are good. And yeah, it's definitely coming from that area and only at nominal temp, which means about 750-900rpm

just for giggles...get it warmed up, take the accessory belts off (I know, a pain) and then run the engine. If it still makes the noise it could be a timing belt idler or tensioner pulley bearing making noise. Sometimes they only make noise at a specific RPM or at high speeds the belt has enough force to make them spin.

Try to zero in to a certin part. if you can find it down to be the alt/PS pump/ect. then you got a sold ground to stand on. ANY Click nose comes with a Vibration. Just a first though. (it's how i do it)

worse case- Gimmie call. You got my new number still, yeah? I'll help you out man.

Nah, I don't have your number. Facebooks! But yeah, I'll warm her up soon and give it another listen.

not that unlikely, but somewhat unlikely for that kind of knocky noise. Not impossible though....
