The pitch sounds to high.. Pull your oil filter and inspect for metal.. It will be packed with metal if you pinched a rod bearing.

Rod bearing noise is the few times I've heard it much deeper in sound. The parts involved are heavy, stiff/rigid and drenched in oil, which tends to mask the higher frequencies.
I can offer a few WAGs as to what it might be but regardless of what I offer the engine will have to be torn down and positively ID the source of the noise.
Before you wrench on the engine, are you sure the noise is coming from inside the engine?
'course, if you are planning on doing the rods anyhow, what difference does it make?
