Default Engine noise

After I started 4MC yesterday, I was gathering to some stuff in garage, I noticed what sounded like valve train noise. I did a search on site and see that the LS2 has some noise. Having been with older cars in the past (solid lifters), this reminded me of them.
My unknown is this, I am 2nd owner, car has been modded (exhaust, tune, intake and a cam upgrade). I don't know what cam nor anything else about engine upgrades, I think that this may be alright for what has been done. Is there anything I need to check or were there build issues that need looking into? Thanks

My LS2 had a lot of valvetrain noise since the first day I picked it up. Then the headers really amplified it. Just the way it is.
