Default V40 T2 engine idling - generally loud or a concern?

Hi,

I've got a 67 plate T2 with just under 12k on the clock. I've always found the engine idling to be quite loud for a petrol. Is this just common with the T2's? I know this is quite a broad question but I think the best I could describe it as is 'tappetty'.

However, in the last few days something concerning has started intermittently when at idle. There seems to be a knock of some sort coming from the engine. Again, I know this could be absolutely anything but I am wondering if owners have encountered similar symptoms on the way to something more severe.

The car is booked in next Friday so I may get an answer from the dealer.

Thanks
