This kinda sounds like the noise my 98 I4 is making. I have 102k miles on it and have never changed the timing belt. I am thinking it has somthing to do with that or the tensioner.
The best way I can describe it is almost like a rattle sound...coming from the left side of the engine bay, where the t-belt is located. Also, does your's only do it upon start up?? Once mine is warmed up it quits and doesnt come back until it is a cold start.
