Quick test to determine if the sound is your pump/pulleys/etc.. vs. timing chain or other internal issue is to remove the serpentine belt and start the engine. Do not run the engine long since the water pump is not functioning and it'll overheat. A few seconds and you should know if it's external (pump/pulleys) or internal (timing/rods/etc...).
Also, I don't think you can visually see a stretched chain as the tensioner should take any slack up. I think what you look for are worn cam sprocket teeth. Also wear on the plastic chain guides.
Good luck,
Ludwig
