Just what I need, another problem.

Today I pushed down the gas pedal about half way to accelerate from 30-50 and there was this god aweful chattering sound coming from the engine bay. I don't know what it is but I hate my car to sound like shiat. I'm so sad. Please help me diagnose the problem. It happens every time I get to like 3-4k rpms and up

I'm assuming you checked the oil level?

Sorry I'm not mechanically inclined. I changed my serpentine belt in July along with the tensioner pulley. How can I check if it's the timing chain? And yes the oil level is good.
