I took the car in for what I thought was top-end noise. Using a stethoscope I thought I isolated the ticking/chatter noise I had to the passenger side valve cover so I had the shop re-adjust all the valves and they said they still got the noise. They pulled the belt to eliminate the accessories and still had the noise, they are saying it's bottom end.
I thought a spun bearing would be more of a knocking sound than chatter though the noise in this video is like what I hear on my car although the noise in the video is louder and occurs right from startup.

I hear the noise on my car only intermittently between 1500-2000rpm. Are there symptoms besides the noise to suggest a spun bearing? The car drives fine minus the noise. I have the factory oil gauge so I don't think that's much help in checking the oil pressure.
