Deff engine related. Last time I heard something like that it was a lifter issue. Not sure that's your issue tho

I agree with coz, sounds like a lifter. Is it louder on one side of the engine? Can you localize the noise to an area of the motor?

It's more noticeable on the driver side

Question number 2

Should I stop the vehicle, keep on driving? take it to the Stealership immediately?

Dumb question but have you checked your oil lately? Is your engine throwing any codes? If its a problem with your cylinder head then yeah I would take it to the dealer pretty quick or you run the risk of more damage.

Just did before the video, does not look low. On a different note, that's the smallest dipstick ever...
No Codes, just the noise

Lifters/rockers

I was unable to watch the video due to poor internet connection. But before I left on deployment mine started making a noise as well. Took it to the dealership and they've been seeing a lot of the 3.6 motors coming in with this issue. The mechanic said that I should not drive it for much longer and advised against all road trips and adventures. They replaced all lifters and rockers. It was covered under the warranty but I asked anyways what it would have cost had it not been covered and the lady said it would be around $1,200. I hope this helps!
