Sounds like the cam chain to me. Check the adjuster is working as it should.

According to the description on utube the bike started to make this noise yesterday suggesting that it started suddenly, so doubtful it will be tappetts unless something has suddenly let go.
Try to locate the area of the noise by putting a large screwdriver on various parts of the engine and place your ear against the end of the handle.
This way it gives a better indication of where the noise is coming from.
good luck

Very true. I suppose locknut can work loose. No harm in checking.
Cant help thinking it does sound like camchain.
