Sounds like something rattling around in the cam cover, what year is it. Are you having any issues with the alternator.
Put the tip of a screw driver on the case of the alternator and your ear on the handle, might help you hear if thats where the fault lies.

Yeah probably best keep it in here. If its a 2005 then it will have the little cambelt guides on the corners. If these aren't fitted securely they can come loose and rattle around. Will post you some pics up.

Heres the cam guides.
One pic you can see it fitted correctly and the other it isn't. They are also designed so the the 2 bolts can be fitted first then the cam guide slid on and tightened up.
They are light and made of brass and after having them in my hand myself only a few days ago I think its one of these or a bolt.
If you get the cam cover off you may see some lines on the belt where the cam guide has been rubbing into the belt.
