Can too much timing cause this noise?

Doesn't sound like a timing issue to me, unless that sound was coming from the exhaust? Sounds more mechanical, like something rubbing on something?

I agree. Sounds almost like an exhaust issue or kind of a slippy, slappy sound. Have him climb under the hood while you drive.
