Default Strange noise from motor

Long story short this noise came about roughly a month ago. I thought maybe plugs were failed so I replaced valve cover gasket, spark plugs, spark plug tubes, crankcase vent hose because I broke it remove the vc, valtetronic shaft sensor gasket, eccentric shaft actuator seal and the noise is still there. It sounds like a dirt bike and the noise increases as the rpm’s increase. It’s noticeably louder on cold starts, any guesses?

While doing that, also pop the hood and try to locate the approximate area its coming from.
