To be completely fair, it is very difficult to isolate a sound from a video clip, and often very difficult even when standing in front of the car.
That said, candidates are chain tensioners, and possibly a cam follower. You need to get the car in front of a qualified mechanic to trace it further. Good luck.
Many thanks ... I have been told ... Possibly a cam follower ...

Ok was trying to bypass the specialist but it seems that some things we can't do ourselves as I am a hands on car guy ...
For instance if a diagnostic tool that could find the problem cost say £200 I would rather buy one myself and fix the problem. But these readers cost thousands ...
Well looks like I am going to see her with the car ... Will keep all informed as to the outcome so we know the fault for future Porsche Boxster owners ...
Once again sorry for the mix up ... Mike ...

Ok ... What I have done is plugged into the OBD11 port nothing comes up all clear ... Admittedly My reader is not a Porsche reader ... I have spoken to a local Porsche specialist (http://porsche-repair-service.co.uk) she tells me it could be a sensor on the gearbox ... Possibly...

Hi to all
Spoke to Cath today in Wigan, North West Porsche ...
discussing my 987 2005 Boxster.
My concern is the IMS I am hoping that mine will not need to be repaired and that it is the model that is safe and will not fail.
there is no noise as some people say there is, apparently the IMS just fails.
Is there a way of checking for instance the VIN number, or is it in the shop to be checked over.
Hope someone can give some direction.
Mike ...
