sounds normal. in engine bay no knock valve tapping. thank god you dont have a b16 with injector clicking and valve tap.

but the exhaust sounds lopey like vr6 idle.

change spark plugs
check wires, cap.
check header lower downpipe for detn from engine block or under header for bottoming out dents

and if your worried about ticking then adjust valves and switch to mobil 1 synthetic

Sounds like valve lash to me coming from the engine. Don't know about the idle though.
