The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.

You may have a stone stuck in the tread.
A tapping noise might come into the engine because of heat damage to the lifters of the motor. You might also hear a tapping sound if the engine has been damaged due to a blown head gasket.
A tapping sound from the engine of a car that has been sitting for 2 months could indicate low oil level or old oil. It could also be a sign of lack of lubrication to the engine components, like the lifters or valves. It's best to have a mechanic inspect the engine to diagnose the exact cause of the tapping sound.
The A has a short A sound, and the I has a short I sound.
The noise has been coming from the engine for the past week and I have been told it might be the oil pump not providing oil to the sump. The tapping sound comes from the engine and increases when i change into a higher gear and drive faster. Please help!

lifter tick or a spun rod bearing
sound like you cam followers (if overhead cam) or lifters are making noise. Could be low oil pressure to the head.
No, tapping is not a long vowel word. In the word "tapping," the letter "a" is short and pronounced as /æ/.
