Ticking Noise

Hi all,

My one year old,13,000 mile Ignis developed a noise this morning. It sounds similar to a playing card on a bicycle spoke,that kind of noise.

It only happens when my foot is off the accelerator,engaging/disengaging the clutch doesn't make a difference and it still happens if I shift into neutral.It doesnt happen when the engine is idling.
When the noise happens I can feel a slight matching vibration through the gear stick.

The frequency of the noise increases with road speed.

Ive checked under the bonnet and had a quick look under the car and nothing seems amis there but it definitely sounds/feels physical rather than mechanical although its odd that it goes away when I press the accelerator.

The dealer cant take a look at it until the 20th so I would like to figure it out myself if I can.

Does anyone have any ideas?

In your warm climate does the Ignis perform ok?
Does the MPG suffer ref A/C?
Thanks
Yes, it goes well.
Very peppy, and gets quite 'naughty' at times as it seems to like 140kph to cruise at.
The A/C doesn't seem to affect the mpg. Certainly not enough to make me stop using it.
I would like a wee bit more power in the A/C though. It does get a tad warm here in Summer, and I would enjoy a 'colder' A/C.
But it's OK as is. Not uncomfortable on a hot day. But your ice cream will melt as you drive along.
Thanks for the photos. Much appreciated.
