Default Engine Tapping Noise - 2007 RX 350

I know this question has been asked 1000 times, but my 2007 RX 350 engine noise sounds excessive. It never goes away, always consistent. What are your thoughts?

It sounds more like hydraulic lifter noise for me, always use right engine oil and good quality filter with recommanded change interval, or try Liquid Moly's Hydraulic Lifter Additive
