Evo 8 Rs making crackling noise

Hello so recently my evo has been doing this noise sounds like crackling or metal on metal hitting. Does it when I’m driving after 10min or so. Can’t seem to figure it out any suggestions. Here’s the video.

Since it is after warm up is it coming from your cooling fan. It thermostatically cycles. Sounds like a buzzing sound. Going to be hard to tell from that video.

Hey, im an RS owner as well. W/out the sound deadening, NVH is always more present. Sounds like a possible heat shield rattle. Check over CAT area maybe?
