Off subject a little, but I'm curious - what is the purpose of the lope idle? Just to make it sound like that, or is there something more?

is it bad that my truck sounds kinda like that one, mainly the first 8 seconds? its not near as noticeable, but definately does the romp romp romp and when you're next to a wall (like at a drive-thru) you can disticntly hear a loud metallic tap, just like in the video, which i'm guessing is a valve.
