Unless your engine makes this sound:



It's probably normal. Even though this engine has hydraulic valve lash adjusters, its valvetrain is quite loud at idle compared to other V8s. The hybrid gear-driven cam drive is 'whiney' too, but it gives the engine 'character', and sounds great IMO. You can tell when a noise is normal. A noise like the video, unrelated to rpm, is something to worry about for sure. Take care.
