and while the car is running, poke around to different areas to localise the sound.
A screw driver works well, ecept in the belt area when the car is running;-)
I tend to think that it would not be your chain or tensioner if hte noise came on suddenly. However David may be right about hte pad in the valve cover. I doubt it literally fell off, but it does turn hard as plastic over the years.
Idler/tensioner pulley can knock/rattle is the bearing is going and can get very loud.
there are many possibilties, but start by localising hte sound.
