Default Normal engine noises

Hi everyone. I recently purchased this 2003 with 145k. I am not really sure what a properly running s2k should sound like. I have done the following, Billman TCT, New plugs, coils, valve adjustment, new air filter, cleaned the TB and IAC, replaced the bearings in the idler pulley and tensioner. Compression test today between 210 and 220. I appreciate all your thoughts.
Thanks for the listen

Hood needs to be closed for a proper noise video.

Sounds good to me.

The body looks in great shape.

My 2¢ worth.

You’re welcome, I don’t think that engine has my tensioner, correct?

@Billman250 It does have your TCT. I just bought the car and it was already installed.
