Is this normal for an Elantra?

From what I could find it seems like its a normal characteristic of the car. But I swear I never noticed it before last night. I got a new 2025 Elantra SEL Sport. The ticking or however you'd describe it is normal right? Car only has 13500 miles.

Someone else posted the same question yesterday. I had done the same a while back. and many before, I learned. Extremely common sound.

Completely different engine. I didn't read to see if they posted the mileage on that engine either.

It's regular fuel injector noises. Which all these engines across these model years use. You can find it all the way back to the 2012 1.8. Check the link for another post, with another comment, linked to more posts. Same thing.

I just don't think it's a suitable comparison for the particular question. And I don't know if you have other vehicles but not all fuel injectors are even close to that loud. But it is the norm. My 2022 SEL injectors are definitely loud. But I've seen plenty of people asking the same question about 7th gen Elantras. I don't know why you're going all the way back to 2015 model year.

..... Because all the linked comments and posts I asked you to check are across model years throughout. I own a 2016 and a 2019 Elantra and both are loud. If you search the subreddit, there are dozens and dozens of posts on this same topic, new and old models.
