Default Chatty valvetrain?

Finished installing a Billman TCT, valve adjustment, new spark plugs, and passed compression test. I heard the s2000 has pretty chatty valves and injectors. Looking for some reassurance if this is a normal sounding engine.

Honestly it sounds like mine. I had a valve that was loose after adjustment and I could hear it as the rpms came up to 3-4K. But I don't hear anything out of place on yours while idling.
