Introduction, flapping noise

[Pastdated]

Good morning everyone. My name is Rik. username is “pastdated” Because I am. Having been born in 1948. I have a 2019 ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7 hemi. Love the truck. I’ll post a picture when I get a chance. Thanks for accepting me into this form.

Recently, the truck has developed a strange flapping noise on start up and when first driving off. This noise is related to engine revs as it increases as I accelerate. I’m a little worried. I know that I just want the classic hemi tick. It sounds like you put your finger on the blades of one of those personal battery operated fans. Anyone have any ideas?

Could be an exhaust leak. You didn’t say where your located but if you’re in salt country I’ve seen the bolts break on the pipe joint under the truck about in the area between the front and rear seat. Part number 14 in this pic;
