Sounds like lifter tick, or something in there pull the cover and look inside for anything loose. May want to inspect and not drive it.
 
could overfilling with oil cause this problem? because it was fine until i put some oil in it, and let it sit for about 20mins
 
its more then just a sound it also effects the way the car preforms, the car sounds like that, also i dont know if you can hear in the video, but the car kind of sounds like it has bigger cams, like it sputters. but would i be able to tell anything just by removing the valve cover
 
Look for loose rockers perhaps, it could just be lifter tick mine did for a while til replaced them get there and check it out. Not sure.
 
lifter tick wouldnt cause the whole car to sound messed up at idle right? at idle the exhaust would sputter the car would kind of sound like a diesel engine
