I've got your #2

I have fixed every leak and I change the oil every 10k. Sound has not not gotten better or worse in the 30,000km I've owned it. The camera makes it sound worse. But same as what you've recorded. I toss in injector cleaner every oil change and have tossed Lucas upper cylinder lube/cleaner at just that last oil change. Will see if that makes a difference over the next few thousand.
Not sure that helps, but I guess misery loves company
