Not serious and they all do it. Do a search for 'Lash Adjusters'. Basically they're the hydraulic tappets in the engine - they are noisy when they get a fre miles on them. Regular oil changes help - And by that I mean more regular than the manufacturer recommended intervals.

Anyhow, there's been loads of discussion on this, so search away. :scholar:

I found that Wynns addititive for hydraulic adjusters made a huge difference!
