Even horrible lifters are quiet when they are cold as the oil can not escape quickly. One of your lifters has likely failed. Hot and running, look for one that is sending up a little geyser of oil. Or get a stethoscope and place the point on the lifter bodies one at a time.

Sometimes you will get a noise if one of the valve keepers fell out and you didn't notice.
