Hey everyone,
I noticed this a long time ago but didn't really start bothering me until recently, maybe it's even louder.

When my car goes into idle at a stoplight or park without turning off the engine (only when it's almost standing still; and after being driven a while; 5 minutes or more) there is this weird clicking noise.

Not really "clicking" but like something is banging against something, I thought maybe it was the hood of the car banging around because it was loose but it definitely wasn't it; but that's what it sounds like.

Maybe an engine check is in order? I don't have the money to spend though, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance :D

just record the sound and upload it so I can hear it.

I can diagnose the most obvious sounds only. ^_^
