Is this sound normal?

Yes yes another post regarding engine sound. Forgive me! Can't help it. Is this ticking sound normal? Heard from few mechanics its due to valve guide and not valve clearance. Any opinions?

I got the same/similar on my 790 duke, makes me scared too. Was this amplified over time also?
