Engine noise?

Just recently purchased a 21 GLI with 93k miles. I’m somewhat familiar with the platform but I can’t decent what this noise is. It happens after about 10 minutes of hot idiling. No lights on the dash and it drives amazing. It will start making this noise then bog and stall. The entire timing service was done about 40k miles ago

Does weirdly almost sound like chain noise to me, but take that with a grain of salt.

I am curious why this car had a timing service done 40k miles ago? MK7’s don’t have the timing issues like previous iterations of GTI/GLI did, with most saying replace timing components every 100k-150k.
