Could be a loose spark plug , certaintly wouldn't hurt to check if not , it does sound very similar to a bad valve guide. Engine noises can be hard to diagnose sometimes without tearing them apart.
Good luck
Good luck

If you figure out what it is let me know as well. Mine is not as bad as what i am hearing in your video but I do have a distinct tick on the drivers side of my car. We were suspecting a lifter but have not taken the head off yet. We did check the push rods and retorqued the rockers.
