Valves tighten as the wear occurs so the lift is reduced.  First thing that is commented is harder starting.  Also you may notice some diminished power.

The ride\'s the thing, travel too fast and you miss the reason.

Would there be any unique sound difference?

At 42,000 miles you really do need to have the cam cover off and check properly. Guessing won't get you far. If the clearances are too tight the next thing is burnt valves which is much more expensive.....
