As i said, i can hear nothing from inside the car or from near the wheels,the noise is that faint. When i crawled under the car i heard a slight ticking noise which seemed to be constant but couldn't tell if it quickens with the revs, there was nobody with me to press the accelerator whilst i was under the car.
You don't need a medical scope. Auto Parts stores sell them for about $10. Your mechanic should probably have one. Of he is experienced with it, he will find the culprit fairly quickly and can also listen to the IMSB to determine if anything is wrong.
