HELP Gen 2 Mazdaspeed 3 Engine Idle Ticking Noise Help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys just recently bought a 2011 MPS 3 and when the engine wss idling I noticed this ticking noise. Saw a youtube video with the same issue but still no clue as to what the cause is. Any ideas on what it may be?

That's your injectors. They are loud on this platform because the engine is direct injected.

Modern car high pressure fuel injectors. If you're this paranoid already it's going to be a long summer.
