3.0D S strange chirr... Is it chain tensioner?

Hello there!
I have an XF S 3.0D 2011 Portfolio. I am very impressed of this car!
But I find some strange sound from it's engine.
It is well heard on 0:04...0:09 on my video -

Is it chain tensioner? I heard the problem with chain tensioners on BMW N47 engine, but I did not hear that Jaguar has simple problem. I can not find any information about it on Russian forums.. But I am worried about by engine condition.
Maybe someone knows this sound?

Privet. Dobra pajalovat!

If you are talking about the tikking, that's normal. Especially with a diesel engine.

Does it have warranty? Have you had the dealer look at it?

Yes, I am talking about the tikking. And when I am accelerating, I also can hear that but frequency is higher.
My car has warranty, but my dealer said that this is normal sound. It is my first diesel car, so I am worried about any extraneous sound..
