    What year? There is a couple of ticks, one is the throttle body, normal, the other higher pitched one would have me checking the lifters if it's not an exhaust gasket, sounds metallic to me in the vid so cut oil filter open an check for metal, pronto.

    This is a 110 twin cam, nowhere near stock but you can hear the TB and the normal TC valve train symphony minus the tick in yours, if it's a lifter you need to address it now before it fails completely.

    These videos always make it hard to tell for sure without being there, but even with headphones to me it sounds like exhaust.

    I am getting a bit deaf but it sounds like  the giggling pin is coming loose and is knocking on the laughing shaft .

    Hey Bones,yep it's a bit hard to accurately pin point the noise because it's a video,however here's an "old school" mechanics tip you could try,very useful and you don't need expensive tools at all,that will help you to "zoom in"on the noise location!  
     Get a very long screwdriver,put the tip of the screwdriver on the area or on top of the closest bolt you think the noise might be coming from,you then use the other side of the screw driver to listen to the noise(just as if you would have a stetoscope) then compare the different area you think the noise might be coming from,where it's louder it will be the area the problem is coming from...
     I would start at the lifters as Grease Monkey suggested it also seems to me, after watching the video a few times,that it could be on the lifters side however the engine seems to idle normally but check anyway to be on the safe side...
    Let us know the outcome...
