I cannot comment on the general loudness of the engine, but there definitely sounds like a tappet issue (the higher note clacking/tapping noise) that is easily adjustable by a competent handy man and a service manual.

In the manual it refers to valve clearance adjustment, that is what I am talking about.
In the video, that is what you must do.
It should not be necessary to remove the engine to do this job.
As in the parts picture, just take off the tappet cover, by removing the 4 bolts. The rubber gasket might just fall out of the cover or need a gentle tug if it is stuck to the head.
You are getting there...!
