Audace - fluttering noise from engineF

Not sure if it helps, but I posted a Youtube video of my Audace when I thought it was making strange noises. You can see it here
at about 45+ secs (bike was warmed up at the time).

I was worried that the RH cylinder was much louder/clackier than the left at certain rpm's e.g. 2400, 5000 etc. I did all the usual things like valve adjustments but I came to the conclusion it was just the nature of the beast. I've had it 2 years and done 15000km and it sounds just the same, no worse, no better. Being air cooled and having the cylinders stick out under your ears like that exacerbated any noises. I always wear ear plugs and a full face lid, but with the visor up, it sounded noisy due to sound reflecting off it directly into ear. With lid down I couldn't hear it.
 
Paul - thanks for your reply and video- the sound is pretty much the same as what I am experiencing and moreso when under load and only once operating temp is reached. This gives me a lot more reassurance. I wear an open face helmet and no earplugs so continuously reminded of the noise other than when I get up to a decent cruising speed on the open road where the wind noise and lovely grunt the Guzzi has at these revs/ speed overshadows the flutter and helps me forget about it for a bit.
