So Ive found that my ticking noise and vibration / knock sound at around 2500 rpm have been getting louder. For those who dont know, while im in the cabin with the windows up, I can hear an intermittent knocking noise, but outside you only hear ticking. The motor is an OHV 4.0 with 273k on it.
The first audio clip was taken from the passenger side wheel well. You can distinctly hear the ticking as I run it up and down the rev range.

The 2nd Audio clip is taken from underneath the motor. Sorry for the wind gust noises. Not sure you can hear it as clear from this point, but I thought I could hear some knocking.

Anyways, thanks for any imput. Im trying to figure out what is causing this noise to get louder. I was thinking collapsing lifter, but hopefully you guys can help me out!
