If it's a sharp tap sound, then I'd think it wasn't a rod. They usually are lower pitched and hollow sounding. Can you record it? Flex plate noise that I've heard is sharp sounding like a hammer.

i took a long metal rod and placed it at different points on my motor and listened for sounds but it did not sound like it was coming from inside my engine. it only makes this sound after it warms up

Re: halloween horror story
Is it consistent in time with the crank or the cam (cam turns half the rpm as the crank) that could help narrow it down from valvetrain to bottom end
