wow, that doesn't sound normal at all. It sounds like it's running pretty rough.

That sounds like ***. Mine is noisy when cold, but it settles down when it warms up. Yours just sounds like a badly running lawnmower. Doesn't sound normal....

just tell them that you can't be without a vehicle. You need it for school/work etc. Ask if they can provide a loaner vehicle even if you know they don't. They might be able to set you up with something. Not all dealerships or warranties cover rentals, but you can try.

Some accessory sounds like it's losing a bearing. That chattering sounds like tha AC clutch or a water pump or alternator bearing. In any case that IS NOT piston slap. You wouldn't even be able to hear piston slap over that racket! You'd better get 'er in the shop pronto!

Mine has a knock when it is warmed up. Sounds like lifter noise. Doesn't knock when it is cold. Read some postings here where they said that's normal. Please.

A slight tick/knock at idle is normal, if it sounds anything like that video, don't go too far with out AAA towing, lol
