i have a 2013 RAM 1500 and it does the same thing. Bought it with 52,000 miles less than a yr ago. Sound started after 2,000 miles. Seems to be coming from somewhere near the exhaust manifold on the drivers side of the engine. Heat shield there is partly rusted, as is the manifold connection to the exhaust system. Then again I may just need to add oil. I'll update after I try some things.
