URGENT Deep rattle, tapping on pulley side of engine

I have just heard the above on my 1999 3.0 (UK Model) Maxima 80,000 miles

It is intermittent on idling, also occurs when engine bliipped to about 3000 rpm , the sound appeares when coming back down to idle

Any iseas what it might be ?

Big end bearings, timing chain, loose pulleys ??

Does it sound expensive

Thanks for any ideas
