I'd try taking the serp belt off and running it to rule out anything sourced there (just set the cam cover in place for now; yes, it will leak). Then if you still hear it, use a hardwood dowel etc or stethescope apparatus to try to pinpoint the noise. Finally you might lift the cam cover while it's running and look down where the sound is emanating from for something visually amiss. I have a '96 900S that had an awful metallic snapping sound when I got it. The balance shaft sprockets were nearly toothless when I tore it down. The dealer thought it was a bad serp belt tensioner. I don't think any of the 9-5s had the (superceded) soft sprockets, though.
