The noise can be significantly loud when the engine is revved.

There are no indicators on the dash, other than yellow oil light that comes on after a little while of driving.

Any ideas?
Did you check the oil level? By braking hard a lack of oil can occur if the level is too low, hence the noise if the hydraulic valve clearance tuning system misses oil to work properly.
