Help me identify this sound.

This sound I'm trying to track down under load. I adjusted valves but did nothing. I am now leaning towards clutch or gearbox thrust bearing. Any help is appreciated.

Between 13min-15 min metal tapping rattle sound.

Is it on one side more than the other?
Check the exhaust nuts?
Have you used a stethoscope to try and locate the source?

No I can hear from both sides of the fuel tank if I put hy head down.
Exhaust nuts are tight are torqued with nord lock washer.
Can't do that because the sound only appears under load. ( it does not sound like pinging or detention or lugging.)

Yeah I can definitely hear it.
I don’t know…Yet.
Nothing loose around the throttle body or butterfly ?

Not that I can see. I have heavy-duty zip ties on it.

chasing noises can be a pain . I always start by winding up to speed on a vacant road and then shutting the engine off and coasting in neutral to  isolate chassis noises form engine / driveline noises

I started losing my hearing instead.  Now my wife has to tell me about annoying noises that I can’t hear….

Sounds like something flapping against your phone while you record a Moto Guzzi. Either that or something loose flapping on said Guzzi.
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.
