Hello, I have had my 00 986 2.7L for almost a year now. This has been happening since I bought it.

About every 15 min of driving, I hear a loud tick(One tick). It sounds like it is coming from the front windshield in the passengers corner. Close to the mirror and speaker.

It sounds like a small rock hits my window every 15 minutes. Any ideas? I am pretty sure it is not a rock because it sometimes happens with no cars in front of me. And I have never had that ticking problem with any other car I have driven.

Sometimes it happens 20-30 minutes apart. Sometimes 10 minutes apart. Every 15 min is the average.

It only happens when I am driving at 40mph+, not idling or driving slowly.
