How long for Tappets to

How long should the tappets stay nice and quite for after having them adjusted? I had mine done around a month ago and it is already starting to sound like someone shaking a paint can.

I'm forever adjusting them... its seems as soon as you do them, a few months later they are noisey again..

maybe if they are that bad, you might need to replace some worn out ones. Is it just one tappet? Or a number of them making the noises?
