Default Noise, did I blow it?

Got the truck tuned last Friday. I did a quick pull today and when I let off it was knocking pretty bad. I pulled over and it was ticking a little loud. I limped it home and all of the noises disappeared. I let it sit a few hours and then recorded the two clips above. Anyone have a good guess what it might be? 4.8 14psi 564hp unlocked

Oil starvation...… The knocking was while there was no oil circulated, then it went away once the oil was back in the pan and being circulated. Meanwhile, some damage was done, which is why there is still some noise.

I noticed when I changed the oil the time before last, it developed a lifter tick. I used the exact same oil every time.

I don't think the type of oil is the issue. It's whether it's getting enough of it. You might run another quart in the pan to avoid what happened.
