Developing noise, need help please

I have had my car for two weeks now and am noticing a developing noise. It sounds like a sewing machine and sounds like it is coming from the valvetrain. My mods are in my sig, any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Seeing that you have a cam, increased valve train noise is normal.

If you get a ticking noise then most likely you have a valve train issue, but the sewing machine sound is normal and is to be expected.
