Hello, I am new here, I was wondering if anyone here has any experience of this, a rattle when you blip the throttle and it crosses around 1.5K RPM and another rattle when you release it

I have no idea what it could be, although a guess might be the timing chain tensioner, I did take the cam cover off and the timing chain looks to be in good condition, cams slightly worn, I could upload a sound of it, although I might have to upload it elsewhere and link it here, Here is an audio file of it, https://www.image2url.com/r2/default/audio/1782153396655-392bbbb6-5641-45ba-af62-153cd794a80b.wav
