That noise is harsh
surely not just tappets

Sounds like Exhaust, to me.
Grab heat shield and see if you can move it any.

Not exhaust, sounds like the roller on the lifter is gone, and the cam is about to get wiped out, pull the valve cover, and check rocker movement, do you have a misfire to tell you which cylinder, a mechanic stethoscope may help you.

Coworkers truck made this sound. Needed new cam bearings.

Bingo. You got it. No misfire as of yet. Lifters/Camshaft in process of getting replaced. Also, adding new aftermarket manifolds while they’re in there.
