No, it sounds like an exhaust leak between the head and exhaust manifold. Look for soot or rev it and let off quickly in the dark to find the leak (while looking at the suspected area).

This what my initial though, but on another forum someone mentioned timing chain. But I though they fixed the timing chain issues with the SOHC a few years before 06.
Truck only has 93,000 miles on it.

Would driving it like it is be bad? Don't really wanna pull the engine if I don't have to in the winter.

Get a piece of tubing, garden hose or whatever about 4 feet long. Put one end to your ear and move the other end around where the noise is coming from. When your right over it the sound through the tube will be really loud. It's the best way to pinpoint a noise that you can't find otherwise.
