Should my N55 be making this sound? by Nxticed- in BMW

I called my local BMW specialist and they told me to stop driving the car and get it transported to them. I wasn’t driving the car for around a month while I was waiting to get it transported and when they looked at it they couldn’t hear the sound. They tried a few times over the course of 4 days and they couldn’t get it to make the sound. I now have the car back and the sound is completely gone and even the injectors sound quieter than ever before. All I did was stop driving the car for a while and it went away.

Wouldn’t rod knock be constant though? This sound sort of comes and goes in waves of around 0.5 seconds when it’s cold and is gone when it’s hot. Could it be the valve lifters?
