Your video did not have any abnormal sounds from my personal experience. Maybe you're just not used to how the 1MZ sounds and are looking for things to fix?

My car knocked/pinged under load in upper gears for years on 87 octane. If you know that unmistakable sound you can't miss it. I didn't watch the video but I am assuming its really difficult to get that to come through in a recording.

Recently I had a knock sensor go bad and replaced that and the harness with OEM parts, no more knock on 87 gas now.
