Tappets on early scoobs can be a little noisy, Sometimes a good quality engine flush & oil change can help quieten them.
Alteratively new shims which is not cheap...
YOu should be able to tell if it is something more sinister, Like top end rattle, , Bottom end etc as it will be more profound & make you cringe when reved higher than tick over..
Otherwise Tappet noise is quite common.

my 96 wrx now has a tappeting noise since my last sevice so I am putting down to the oil they used, I don't know what it was, I am looking at changing it this weekend, hopefully thats the problem.
