cam chain tension is low and the chain is slapping around in there... if i'm hearing the correct noise. Where the arrow is pointing is the location of the cam chain, so it makes sense.
If it's under warranty you should have it checked out by the dealer.

I assume you hear this when you're driving? or just when you rev it in when parked?
