So, VVT sound, tip in, more VVT sound?
That's what I think the video clip is trying to say - which worries me a bit because as I described above, I definitely hear it when I add quite a bit of throttle rapidly when cruising around 2K RPM on 3rd / 4th. As you, I thought it was just a normal mechanically-induced sound from high load on all the moving parts.

I asked @jamesm and was nice enough to confirm (or perhaps I misunderstood) that the 2nd noise that comes on in the above video above immediately when throttle is added is indeed tip-in knock.
