Sporadic 'tapping' noise until war.

I had the same thing and was equally concerned only because I had not hear or paid attention to the noise before. Took it to my local mechanic and it was indeed a lifter noise and was told it was nothing to be concerned about. That was a couple thousand miles ago. I hear it every once in a while now but have had no problems. Car is in having the oil changed today so will see if I hear it after fresh oil.
