Another 5.0. Tick question

I have been through as many threads as possible researching the many different ticks people have gotten.. my 2011 5.0 has got it bad.

It seems many people are having different types and in varying ways. Mine is all the time, warm or cold. It doesnt stop. Only time it's not noticed is when I start it on a completely cold, overnight start. But only at idle. It picks up as soon as I pull out the driveway. The tick is at idle, and ramps up with acceleration. When I let out of the throttle, it winds down loudly. Has a bit of a metallic sound.

Going to try to attach a short video.
Opinions?? Manifold leak? Lifter? Roller? Anyone have the exact same ticking that was fixed?

Valve train noise. Try to determine which side of the engine it's coming from and remove the valve cover to check.
