Default spun bearing or loose something?

i did a little test so i was driving home tonight and i went bout 55 60mph ish ,rpms 2500 or so it was the loud clanging tciking noise.. im pritty damn sure it a loose rocker or it aint on the valve straight or something becuase i only hear it on driver side... when its at idle its just normal sewing machine noise hmmmm

it happens when im at a high speed 50+ when im below that car runs great. when its at idle no unusual sounds. when i hit 50+ its very loud then i stop let it idle then goes away.. now ive done 50+ alot already because the speed limit is 45 and this noise has only happened 2wice and oil pressure is normal... i have a stock tune... maybe the car is just wigging out or wuh

You sure it goes with the speed of the car, or the speed of the RPM's?
