Hi,
The P0340 is related to the camshaft position sensor. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the camshaft phaser. Here are the diagnostics. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable doing it. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor (Phase)

Component Description
The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the retraction with intake valve camshaft to identify a particular cylinder. The crankshaft position sensor (POS) senses the piston position. When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position sensor (PHASE) provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification signals. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC. When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NOTE: If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION: Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10.5 V with ignition switch "ON".
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".

2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Crank engine for at least 2 seconds and run it for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
4. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure". If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to next step.
5. Maintaining engine speed at more than 1,000 rpm for at least 5 seconds.
6. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure".
WITH GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT-II" above.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (PHASE)
1. Loosen the fixing bolt of the sensor.
2. Disconnect camshaft position sensor (PHASE) harness connector.
3. Remove the sensor.
4. Visually check the sensor for chipping.

If it's possible, record the engine running so I can hear the noise you mentioned.
