Default Name that engine sound - video

Anyone have any ideas what the sound is in the videos below? The first video sounds like like a bunch of crickets in the engine. Second one is a deeper pitch, metallic rattling kind of sound. The sound is intermittent, I just noticed it for the first time today.

Timing belt tensioner bearing. Put front end in service mode and get down there and listen closely or use a stethoscope to pinpoint.
