Default Engine noise

Alright guys, I have a question. I just bought a 06 Heritage with 46k miles on it. The cam tensioners were replaced and a hydraulic oil pump was added 6k miles ago. The bikes engine is nice and quite at first and then at about 5 miles the motor gets loud. It sounds like it is coming from the rocker area and/or cam area (its hard to determine). It also happens all at once meaning the noise just starts all at once. Anyone else have this happen to them? Anyone have any suggestions? I just bought it yesterday and just now got a chance to drive it more than a few miles.
Thanks in advance,

My 103 got noisy lifters on synthetic oil. Switched to dino oil and it quieted down. But I needed syn oil for the AZ heat so I tried RedLine 20-60 oil and all is well. It's expensive but well worth it.
