Default engine noise - is this normal?

See video below, I have a 2008 Mazda 3 (1.6 automatic petrol).


Recently it seems to be a bit noisy:

1) high pitched tinny noise on turn of key in ignition
2) engine and exhaust seem noisy when idling

It had a new 12v battery about 6 months ago which I trickle charge every 2 months. It gets driven twice a week about 20 miles per trip.
Serviced every year with oil change.
