Default Engine Noise Help

So I have a 2015 wrangler unlimited with 50,000 miles. It has always been serviced by me. Oil and filter change every 5000 miles with Pennzoil ultimate Platinum 5w20. It has started making a noise on the right side to me sounds like a collapsed lifter. Same sounds when it first starts and after 5hrs of driving. Anyone out there heard of this problem any info or comments please.

that sounds a little random to me, not a regular ticking like a valve train noise. maybe look at the belt & balancer, almost soudts like a slapping

It says on the video that it was the sound he made before replacing the harmonic balancer. Guess that was the issue. ... Even though the video was posted on Oct 10th?

I think he changed the description in the video.
Pretty sure it said something else yesterday

Hey sorry if i caused any confusion. That was actually my video. I was thinking vwhitlow might have a look to see if the sound on his jeep matched mine. Thinking it might help.
