The clanging sound got faster with higher RPM, but it was not 1:1 as the sound was still intermittent.
Follow-up:
I picked up the car yesterday. The clanging is gone. I brought the car to a second reputable Houston Porsche shop and let them have a listen. They couldn't hear anything amiss at all.
As mentioned, all the first shop did to "fix" it is replace the 8.2 quarts of brand new, Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40 ($$$) with 0W-30 synthetic and drove it. The owner of the shop thinks that something went amiss during my oil change; perhaps dislodging a carbon deposit that the 30 weight was able to address. He admitted it's completely speculative and didn't like the answer, especially for a car with such few miles, but short of tearing the engine apart that was his best guess.
The shop owner suggests driving it as is for 1K-2K miles and then going back to a 5W-40. Provided it is not tracked (it won't be), the 0W-30 will be fine in his opinion. For peace of mine, I'll do a UOA on the 0W-30 as well.
I'm happy to have it healthy and back at home
