Okay, but when the OP posted his question in October, 2018, he also told us that…

From what you’ve described it’s difficult to pinpoint a problem - it could be major or minor, but usually the sooner you fix something the less it will cost in the long run.

It is _possible_ that the OP’s vehicle hasn’t yet exhausted its 3 yr/30k mile Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty, in which case he shouldn’t be taking it to an indy mechanic, but–in any event–I suspect that he has resolved (or accepted) this noise problem in the 20 months or so since he posted his question.
