I once had a noise that I feared was timing chain - couldn't hear it with the bonnet up, but you could at certain revs if you drove alongside a wall or solid fence with the drivers window down. Drove me nuts, but it turned out to be a loose heat shield between the manifold and starter motor. Replaced a couple of nuts and problem solved. As, suggested, you really need someone who knows what a duff chain sounds like, or maybe listen to someone elses car that is known to have a good chain setup.
