Diagnosis by sound, exhaust or something else?

The metal clicking sound from exhaust exists from day one I got my 24 R. Also remember similar sound on 23 R but it went away after some time.

My sound is pretty similar. They exchanged the catalyst with no luck. In two weeks they will change the starter engine.

There is a whole thread on this -- went and found it for you https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/loud-noise-like-a-metal-spring.104065/ known issue and no remedy (at least by Ford). My R (Oct 24 build) had a handful of issues from day one (and I started to hear this after 800 miles). It started to contribute to my list of reasons to sell. Hopefully by 26 model they will sort out gremlins.
