Weird sound from engine bay

Hey guys. My wife filmed with my cam while I revved her up to 1500 2000 rpm.

This is the movie clip.

Can someone point me out to what this problem could be ?
Thanks !
Frank

^^ I agree. It also could be a stuck lifter as well....

I hope for your sake that your just a little low on oil, rather than having a more serious motor problem.

Sounds very similar to an S2000 timing chain tensioner failure:

Therefore, I'll pile on the timing chain bandwagon, but I'd start with the tensioning device.

Made an oil change. Sound is gone. I think it's burning oil in excess. Will have to carry a few pints of oil with me no matter where i go and top her up once in a while so no damage is done.
Thanks for the help guys.
