Is this engine noise normal?

I'm not really accustom to the sound of the V10 yet, and have noticed a ticking sound(sound likes a lifter rattle)from the engine at highway speeds(not present at idle). Ive done the basic diagnostic procedures from the service manual(oil level check, oil pressure, Etc), and all are within specs. I was just wondering if this is normal for a viper, like it is for some other cars Ive had (solid lifter cars mostly). FYI the car is a 2002 with 5200 miles.

If it sounds like a UPS truck engin noice then it is normal ...
