Cylinder Score Noise?

Cylinder Score Noise?
Hello everyone!
Recently I noticed a noise coming from the engine bay, driver side, on my Cayenne 2008 S.
It sounds a lot like similar noises I checked on Youtube where the car was diagnosed with cylinder scoring... Just posting a quick video here to get the opinion of the experts... no serious codes found using Durametric, no issues with performance.
I will check the compression on all cylinders this weekend if it’s not too cold.
My wife uses the car to take our toddler to school. Is it safe to let her continue to use the car?
Any input is appreciated. I really love my Cayenne but I am afraid this is a fatal issue for her...

It's not going away. The noise is still there. Did not have time to do the compression tests and check the spark plugs yet.
Will do it on the weekend. But not using the car until then.

I got a dealership to give me a trade in value and they want to pay me $5500 CAD for it. And they will sell it for $11000 at least... I refused for now.
Will hear back from the mechanic on Monday. I might continue to drive it until it dies and then part it out if I can’t find and engine. Maybe do an engine swap and turn it into a Rat-Pig... like LS engine, RWD, tablet for instrument cluster... let’s see. Not too afraid of losing 5k now but really pissed that a fantastic car like a Cayenne has such crappy engine design... Porsche really sucks even though their cars can be great (while you lease them...).

Ok, so yesterday I checked the oil level and it was on the lower side. Put about 1 and a half liters of oil and added an oil additive. That quieted it down a LOT. However, I still want to have the car professionally looked at so right now it’s at my mechanic. They will do compression and leak tests.

Spoke too soon. Bad scoring on cylinder #6. Getting rid of it and of my 911. Very disappointed with my Porsche experience... Definitely not a car for Canadian Winters... bought a crappy Subaru.
