It's a noise that gets louder with revs and it will sound extremely clattery, not tappety.

It's an F20C, so definitely not hydraulic tappets
I don't think it has any other symptons, not not high mileage and runs well AFAIK
and is not an 08/09

Big end failure is more common in turbo cars, especially older EVO's and Impreza's. It sounds more like a constant thudding/dull knock and is usually followed eventually by loss of oil pressure and your check oil light.
Keep your oil topped up and you should never need to worry about it but you will know if it happens as it's a pretty distinctive sound.
If you're planning on tracking your S at any any sort of pace then get a baffle put in. I believe you can get drop in ones as well these days, or at least you can for the K20.
