Unhappy engine noise

i have this noise in my car, kinda sounds like a ticking noise. i thought it was my lifters but i had them changed today and the noise continues. when the car is idling everything sounds perfect, but when i accelerate slightly the noise starts and as i accelerate more the sounds starts ticking faster then as i accelerate more the sound goes away, i figured it was because it was ticking too fast to hear or it just went away but its frustrating me because i cannot tell what it is anyone please help!!

IF you push in the clutch does it still do it?



Its very hard to hear in the video but I think the first thing I would do is drain the oil and have a look at it. Could be a spun bearing.

i took the turbo off a couple of months ago and i thought everything was tightened but i just thought of it maybe being something on the turbo or o2 housing being loose because it happened before so im gonna check that tomoro

ya the reason why i asked is because it had hapened to me in the past. one of the o2 housing studs came out lose and caused an exhaust leak. hopefuly its that simple. gl!
