Have you checked your exhaust for any leaks?

It's not easy to hear it. It might be something in the valve train. You could try to locate it with a mechanic's stethoscope.

Checked the valve train, nothing broken, no cracks. Checked the head bolts and the torque. All good. Will observe when I drive the next time....not a big deal, will drive a few hundred (2-3) miles each year anyway.

thank you
