FWIW, my rockers set with 0 preload sound very similar.

You can apply a little additional preload to quiet them down for peace of mind.
I did so with my previous setup.

I had a little bit of the same problem..Adjusted the rockers 3 different times and on the last time, I found 2 different rockers that were a bit looser than the rest. The kicker was, that we noticed that the pushrods weren't running in-between the guideplates like they should. They were rubbing on one side of the pushrods...Adjusted the guideplates, and rockers, that sucker sounds like a sewing machine

Just something else to check. See how the pushrods are running in the guideplates.

I re-adjusted the valves just over a year ago now and all has been well since. They are quite noisy but nothing out of the ordinary for Pro-Mags.
