Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. We need to hear the noise, so we know which direction to go to help you fix the car. It takes time to upload so please be patient.

Thanks for the video, it helps. The noise you are hearing is a cam follower that has gone bad, you will need to remove the valve cover and inspect the valve train. What happens is that the roller bearings inside one of the followers has come apart. Use a flashlight to help with the inspection, make sure to turn the engine over by hand to check the followers under tension form the cam lobe.

Correct, this sounds like a camshaft follower, this is why the engine has a rough idle as well.
