Although it's masked under the general tappet and engine noise I'd say it's the cam gear starting to go. Listen to mine. It was already terminal then. I drove it happily down to my garage to have it changed (another YT video shows pictures) knocking like that. The previous day I had driven it back from the Southern BKV at Fort Nelson back to Kent! Cruised at 60 fairly quietly.

If you were using one of those mechanics stethoscopes you might find a wooden broomstick from the timing cover and pressed into your ear works better. Beware the fan!
