Actually, yes it does sound suspiciously similar. The thing that gets me is that it was occurring through the entire RPM band, and once I turned my car off and then turned it back on it was nonexistent. There was not even a hint of it. If I had a stereo mic instead of my phone to capture it better it would be very obvious even below 3000 rpm.

My tune is from shiv using the open flash tablet. I'm following your thread regarding the valvetrain noise that's occurring in some cars and I find it interesting that some cars have this valvetrain noise while others don't. for the longest time around 4K there was definitely a shift in engine note were it sounded much more aggressive but still no valvetrain rattle.
