steady rattle--TIMING CHAIN?!

Hey,
I'm doing a 600 mile trip this weekend, and now I'm paranoid about my timing chain. Car is an '89 900T, 132k on it. I can only hear this 'rattle' with the windows rolled up at around 3000rpm--i hear it in all gears so i don't think it trans related. Its got a steady tempo of two grinds per second (quarter note=120bpm for the musically inclined). It sounds just like a chain rubbing against another surface--thus my reason for holding the timing chain suspect. The sound is very quiet and only heard with windows rolled up (sound comes from engine bay). I plan to replace the chain/tensioners anyway, but I don't have time/money right now. Should I worry?
BTW--I'm inexperienced, so please be simple.
--Nic
