If it is a tapping noise, I suspect lifters, the oil hasn't fully circulated, yet.

The roaring noise, maybe exhaust? Radiator fan?

It's hard for me to tell much from here. I'd have to try to listen to it and try to locate. I know trying to find a noise is a pain. Sometimes they are hard for me to locate ,also.
