Cowbell sound - but when still

So I’ve been researching this a lot, seems most people have this sound at slow speeds when there’s pebbles in the brake dust shield. But mine is doing it at idle.

Trying to avoid paying the dealer because when I show up with the intention of having it checked it stops.

Does the sound go away when you increase the rpm?

What exhaust setup are you running?

I’m not sure if it goes away or if it’s just drowned out by the higher revs

Garage List
I got rid of mine years ago by applying the parking brake about halfway and then driving in reverse on the driveway. You could also use a parking lot. It seems to tighten up the parking brake system.
