Is the cover itself rattling around? If you have not yet changed your timing belt, now would be a great time to do so.

When the belt stretches, centrifigal force will make it slap against the cover. Was the ouside of the belt shiny when you looked at it?
As suggested, likely it's time to replace the belt.

IIRC, you can run the motor w/o the cover and see the belt in motion. [:-]

I bet that stopped the noise. Did you replace the belt? Install a new cover?
