How about opening the bonnet so we can see what we are looking at . Have you had a look to see if any thing is lose . Does noise raise with the rev's ? have a feel of the power steering pump pully play or , if its not electric like . No doubt its been fixed before by some1 on here . Big help would be know what it is , could be a common problem .
Yea loose timing chain does sound like that. As you rev it the sound should change/go away, does not sound good. Above questions are relevant.

Theres a number of possibilities--bonnet open theres a chance it could be figured out.

Put the handle of a screwdriver in your ear and the other in on the engine in various places be careful where you place it of course it will work like a stethoscope and help you identify where the noise is coming from and hear it more clearly

Strongly reminds me of a Hyundai Lantra loose timing chain slapping on the guard rail just above the chain. Sounds bad but not really.
