Is anyone else hearing a light clatter/knock coming from either valve cover?

First off, my engine has never really sounded very quiet since the day that I brought it home.

That said,
recently I have been hearing a light clattering sound coming through the grill while standing in front of the jeep, when the engine is hot.
I started to investigate the location of the sound today, after I thought that the sound was getting louder.

It's coming from the passenger side valve cover.
I made a service appointment for next week at the dealer.

Build date 2/20
I'm at 6,800 miles, it has always ran great except for a slightly rough idle. Have never had any trouble alarms or lights, and fuel economy has been great. 23.4 MPG (showing on the dash at this time).

Were you able to resolve this issue at the dealer? What was the outcome?

Thanks,
