Default What is this noise? w/video

Take a listen, It just recently started making this noise. It's louder right under the collector it seems like. Cant hear it when on top of the engine when i pop the hood. I have been told it might be just the exhaust valves?
Im not sure if this would be a lifter tick, havent heard many noises like it.
Maybe someone has heard this before, let me know what ya think it is.
Thanks.

Took another, i hear the tick pretty clearly, it kind of has a rythmn to it. I tryed putting the phone close to the collector but it gets drowned out, you can hear it better from the side by the door. Any more insight is welcome.
thanks

Oil pressure is normal around 40 idling, its harder to hear it from the top end when i open the hood but you can hear it louder from underneath the car.
Thanks for your response, didnt check this in a while kinda gave up on it.
Is there any way to narrow this down?
