The first time that I was able to get them to admit that the noise was not normal Hyundai blamed oil flow and cleaned an oil line. The second time they tried to fix it they did a teardown of the heads/valve train and found several of the valve clearances out of spec. They replaced several “tappets”. None of these repairs corrected the engine noise, The car is now out of warranty and I have stopped trying to get them to fix it."
