Well my 2011 wrx did the same thing.and yes it was bottom end issue.check that oil for sparkles.if u c metal get out your check book cause its gonna hurt?
if the noise does go louder with your RPM, then you might have what I have..... exhaust sprocket cracked. Next step is, what is your current mileage? I had mine at 57K. The dealership is replacing the short block and it will come with another 5 yrs/60K warranty.

Dealer miscommunicated the 5yr/60K warranty as i suspected. Any replaced parts only carries 1yr/unlimited mileage warranty. I guess i can start taking care my car my own [emoji106]
If its a tapping sound, and only intermittent between 2000-3000rpm, it could be rod knock=game over.
