986 - Is this normal engine noise?

Checked the spark plugs, they're all seated properly. I've checked everything I can think of, at this point I've decided to deal with it and purchased sound-deadening material to put between the inner engine cover and the carpeting. Oh and a new exhaust too.

It's scary that it's been getting louder over time, but everything checks out so there's not much I can do.

Had.ny 2003 2.7 tip for four years, has always whined, I red a road test once that commented about the Boxster had he same whine as the old air cooled cars so gave up being concerned.
The local independent has serviced it every 12 months without commenting so I think it's a case of another endearing quality,

Cheers
