Has anyone experienced this kind of ticking/rattle sound that follows the engine RPM?

Video recorded with driver's door open (but the ticking can also be heard even with the door closed):

Video from engine bay. With stereo headphones I can hear that it is louder on the right hand side of the engine when looked from front to back:

i30N year 2020.

I guess it could be injectors, timing chain, high pressure fuel pump, evap purge valve? Any ideas?
Note: Mechanic initially diagnosed the high pressure fuel pump as faulty. The HPFP was replaced and the sound did not change.

I have tried to find youtube videos with the same sound but so far there has only been one video where I can clearly hear the same distinct ticking sound.
There are so many videos where I cannot hear this ticking sound so it seems to be some kind of a developing issue.

Another mechanic will investigate this soon.
