engine noise 911

[samarmitage87]

Hi,

I'm new to this site. Iv just bought my first 996 3.6. It's my dream car and love it. My only concern is a noise from the engine, I'm no mechanic and don't know if it's normal. I'll explain the best I can. Ok, as on a normal engine you hear the engine ticking over and it's sounds sweet. But from the left of the engine there is like 'whom,whom, whom' it's about half a second between each one. It's kind of like something is unbalanced. I've listened to other 996s on utube and they sound the same. Is this normal and what is it.

Thanks in advance.
