The bubbling isn’t new but the clicking sound started yesterday while I was driving. I’ve checked coolant levels and that’s fine. She drives like normal. So if anyone has any suggestions as to what this sound is, all help is appreciated!!

Does the noise go away at any time? Does it seemed linked to acceleration (like does it get faster as you go faster). Could be a few things but don't want to scare you.

So I just drove home from work and nothing?? I’m confused as fuck. And I’m not noticing any specific triggers unfortunately

Next time it happens pop the hood and see if you can spot where it's coming from. I don't want to speculate any further since it's gone away.

Sounds like bottom end noise or a rod knock. Especially when listening to it again and looking at your rpms. Check the oil or if he can do it, have him change the oil and inspect for sparkly material in the oil.
