Noisy chain i think but not on startup just when it gets warm

markt8

Got a 04 astra cabby with a z22se in and the chain doesnt make a noise at startup nor does it when its idling, but when revving it makes a slight rattle noise is this normal and just the sound of the chain or should you not hear it at all, like i say it never rattles when cold even revved up but just after 10mins of running, im gonna do an oil change tomorrow so see if that helps

Thanks

Manifold gasket?????

Manifold gasket? Would you hear the chain through the gasket? Its weird because its silent on startup, silent completely until 2k rpm and its just like you can hear it spinning, not rattling or anything like that, I don't want to waste money changing it for it to be exactly the same
