Header Tick

Header Tick
I attached an Mp3 so that you guys can try to get an idea of what i am hearing. Is that tick normal header tick? Or am I leaking at the flanges?
The sound is coming from the headers not the outlet of the exhaust. It is not the joint where the 2 headers meet and no cracks on the headers.
I already tried replacing the gaskets but still the same. Was thinking about removing them again and applying some high heat Rtv but before i do that, just wanted to see if this was normal header tick and if so any ideas to get rid of it?
thanks

I had a tap in mine, and it was because an adjusting screw had backed out, bent a rocker arm and spindle, and was rattling around the valve cover. Go with TT Surgeon's suggestion.

Sounds like more of an exhaust leak to me..
