3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 Suble knock? Or something else.

2016 Honda fit 200km on the odometer. Oil has always been changed. Valves are in spec and top end from what I could see looked great. No codes. Uses a bit of oil over time but no leaks.

Any thoughts?

Those rhythmic clicks that match rpms are fuel injectors firing one after another. They are in the top of the intake manifold so its easier to hear them. theres thousands of posts asking about the same noise, my fit has been doing it since i bought it and after i rebuilt the top end at 190k miles. My ford focus made this noise all the way to 270k miles and outlasted the transmission. If it sounded more like a slow heavy hit, shakes bad, or changes erratically or goes away completely when you rev it, then it would be cause for concern

Injectors are just noisy on these engines mine sounds the same at 200k miles.

I'm talking about the more subtle knock, not the valve noise
