Anyone have any insight.... is this a "noisey" engine? Is the noise mostly from injectors or does this engine have a normal amount (normal = loud engine) of valve train noise?

What kind of noise? If it is a soft clicking noise (sounds like a diesel engine), then it is the valves/lifters. If it is whirring noise, it is the cam shaft chains. Toyota is one of the few cars that use a chain for the cam shafts, unlike the rubber belts others use.
If either noise is soft, that is normal. I've never heard of fuel injectors making noise.
