The slack in the chain seems reasonable, keep in mind that you want to check this a few times, depending on how the engine comes to rest it can cmhave artificial tension on the chain.
Your engine sounds healthy to me. These engines are noisy at the best of time and although we often compare our vehicles to ones on videos that have just rolled off the showroom floor. I think we do need to consider that all of our vehicles are up there in mileage now, hence they will not be sounding like new engines.
Lots of moving parts, veritable cam tensioners. The high pressure fuel pumps and cam followers etc.
My other toy is 2004 S4 which also doesn't run 100 quite like it would have being new.
