Check several things: Do you have the later chain tensioner? Do you get the noise only at idle? Has the car been well maintained- no sludgy oil build-up? If only at idle and old style tensioner it is probably tensioner. If sludgy build up on valve train it can be lifters not getting oil or hydraulic seals not holding in lifter/s. At your mileage it might be the plastic lifter oil supply tubes and/or their o-ring seals. Occasionally one of these plastic tubes will crack and not supply some or all the lifters. If none of the above check tensioner extension if extended beyond spec your chain is probably in need of replacement.
