That sounds sort of like the balance shaft chain tensioner clicked a tooth too tight, did you just have the water pump replaced by chance?
Since you probably don't have an inspection stethoscope to probe around to find where the noise is coming from, you can inprovise one by taking a long screwdriver, and putting the tip on the parts you want to 'listen to' and put the end of the handle square against your ear. You should probe on the alternator, cam cover, water pump housing, intake manifold, etc., to try to isolate more specifically where the noise is coming from.
Balance shaft / timing chain will make noise on the passenger side of the engine, sort of down low where the belt tuns, sort of emanates from that whole side of the motor.
