Yeah but it didn’t really increase with heat i guess? The „rattle“ i get is distinctively linked to rpm. I am still waiting for the tools to check everything, but i’ll promise an update when i’ve done that.Upon sober reflection -- a rare state when Kathi leaves me unsupervised for a week as I am now-- I realize that the sound that loose header-flange nuts made was not -- at least in my several experiences with that -- a rattle at all, but a distinctive rhythmic ticking that, unsurprisingly, increased and decreased in tempo with RPM.

Yes, the noise from the clutch is a good example .You'll hear al lot of people say "A noisy tappet is a happy tappet", tight tappets can cause the valves to burn out. That being said, too loose isn't good either. Yes, a Guzzi sounds like a well oiled sewing machine. If you're that sensitive to noise , I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the noise from the clutch when you pull it in.
Other bikers tell me all the time that my bike sounds like a tractor when it's idling.
The clutch was a surprise at first, but when i've test ridden it, they warned me that, when i put in neutral and release, it will sound like screws in a washing machine and that this is normal because it's a dry clutch.You'll hear al lot of people say "A noisy tappet is a happy tappet", tight tappets can cause the valves to burn out.

Don’t apologize, i am glad for your opinion. You guys are much more experienced with the engine than me, and i am thankful for the advice.Sorry Sambacon but all sounds a ok
Not sure if you are used to air-cooled engines, but they are definitely louder than their water cooled jacket friends
it can be disconcerting at first, but I can say from experience your engine sounds fine
