Question Engine knocking noise from underneath. Sound bad?

I hear a knocking type noise coming from the bottom end of the engine. I don't think it's there all the time, but I've noticed it for a while. I took a little vid. I thought the hemi tick was a valve tick that is heard from the top end so I didn't think that was it. No codes and definitely no performance problems.

Hmm ok thanks guys. I've seen videos of supposed hemi ticks before, but it was from the top end and sounded more ticky and less knocky. I feel a little better now....back to the mods I guess
