The noise is most apparent when at idle and when under load, i used a tube and rested it on each value cover and no ticking was heard.
Injectors <—
The first video is sound from the first 3 injectors
Oil pan <—
The second video is the sound heard from oil pan
 
When I have a sound I can't pin point, I just keep driving it, till it gets loud enough to be more apparent. Your noise is not very loud yet.
 
Remove your serpentine belt and run the engine. Seems way to fast to be anything related to the rotating assembly.

Obviously it won't be charging the battery or running the water pump but it will be ok for 30 seconds. Long enough to say if the noise went away.
 
easier to squirt some water on it, hit the smooth side too.

I was leaning towards a spinning accessory making the noise, not necessarily the belt itself.
