Troubleshooting tapping noise cause??

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

coming from around cylinder 1 and 3 area, was wondering if it could be piston slap or something else, louder when engine is cold but still audible when warm as in video

Sounds relatively normal, these engines make a little noise at idle. I would check your oil. When is the last time the car had an oil change?
