OK, just one more comment for clarification and then the matter will drop.

It sounds like you are not idling smoothly. I think I even hear a few stumbles and can distinguish every power stroke. If that is true, something is amiss.

If the tach is reading correctly and it is making that much noise when it runs at 1400 rpm, I would be concerned. Then again, not having a tach, I have no good frame of reference.

Maybe the audio is just bad. Hope so.
