Default rattle at idle on cold startup....

my car has been rattling for about 8 months now. it rattles (tick tack tack tacktacktack tick tick tack) in a very sparatic way, during idle and when i accelerate a bit. once the car has been running for around 10 minutes, it stops, but u can faintly hear it at idle. i just had a valve adjustment done, and the car still rattles/ticks.

any ideas??

ive added a sound clip of what it sounds like. u can faintly hear it behind the tick of the injectors, but it is there, and is sparatic.

I figured it would be at all times.
