Are your external flappers new? When I put mine on for the first few runs. At idle they sounded horrible I thought my motor was knocking.
Plus real easy to eliminate they come off easy. no harm in trying.

May not have anything to do with your issue, but that DON'T sound good to me.

I put Hardin tips on and even the the flaps are rubber I thought the engine was coming apart. Since the sound goes away with rpms maybe a lifter issue? You can try changing different weight oil and see if it has any effect at all.
