Engine noise: normal or something wrong?

Only having owned my car for the duration of winter, I am attempting to determine if there’s something going wrong in my engine or if the noise I’m hearing is within a general “normal” range of sound during summer/warm temperatures.

If possible, could any of the rest of you M2C owners take a listen and tell me if I’m crazy or if you would be concerned too. I don’t have any error messages, but sometimes we find out too late. Any help would be much appreciated.

Above is a link to the video/audio. While compression can change sound, that link still stays pretty accurate to what I’m hearing.

The sound is pretty much normal for how the injectors sound. I guess the loudness depends on how high I have my volume set at.
