Wow, that noise has me stumped since its not directly related to RPM. Sure sounds like something is loose/rattling around though. Maybe a broken rocker is rattling around?? I'd start w/ the simple stuff. Drain oil and look for bits, pull valve covers and look for bits, etc. If those turn up zilch a compression test will narrow down to the offending cylinder.
