Well I'm not 100% certain what you mean about "to a beat" but I'll throw this out there....

I had a blown exhaust manifold gasket that resulted in a loud tapping that was especially loud on cold starts and under load. It didnt rob any power as far as I could tell either, but the sound was really annoying and loud. In my case I first narrowed it down to a specific cylinder giving me trouble by pulling each wire while running, pulling #8 quieted the noise...then looked at the gasket right next to the cylinderand said "you know, that huge gaping tear in the gasket isn't quite right....ohhhh...wait".
