Thats where it comes from (95 mazda lantis v6) Sorry mate you going to need to give more info. is it constant! does it increase with the revs! has it been regularly serviced! Thinking tappetnoise maybe!

nope it doesnt increase with the revs it isnt constant it comes and goes i mean after long trips when you slow the car down to say going up a driveway to park a noise suddenly appears and it temds to stay there while driving it for the rest of the day.the next day once it has had a rest nothin but as soon as you go on a long distance travel there it goes again and thats about the circle it does.

Something is getting hot ie exhaust manifold or catalytic converter. it gets hot on the long trip. the sound your hearing is just something hot cooling down. maybe get the cat converter checked.

Some times they have little (tin!) guards over the manifolds as well with a little HOT word pressed into them, they can get hot and cause the tink tink tink tink tink like noises.
