I am not an expert, but if the noise is not coming from the pulleys / tensioners / belts area, try listening with a long steel rod placed on various parts of the engine and your ear ( Obviously not too near moving parts !! )
It also sounds like it could possibly be from the injectors / tappets.

It may sound daft to those who have never used these - but a listening stick placed against parts of the car and the other end placed against the casing of ear defenders is a superb way of determining where a noise is coming from. We do this at sea all the time with high accuracy. Using ear defenders cuts out all the background noise and acts as an amplifier. The listening stick can be placed into very hard to reach areas.

Good luck

Could be the fan. Can you rock the blades? Engine stopped obviously.

Going to get a stethoscope and I was thinking about the fan being an issue as it doesn’t do the loud jet sound on start up anymore and it’s much worse now it’s colder 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8

A big screwdriver works very well as the tip can be moved small distances to find the exact spot and the end of the handle doesn't poke holes in one's ear.

Agreed, don’t waste money on a stethoscope, a large / long screwdriver is just, if not more effective + can be used for its intended purpose also

That does sound plasticky. I agree with the above about checking the fan for play or obstructions.
