Does anyone else get a really loud inconsistent chattering/knocking sound while idling?
It sounds like its coming from the top right side of the engine.
I don't know that much about internals or anything but I know its not the injectors ticking.
This noise is almost embarrassing and doesn't sound healthy.
I could hear it LOUD and clear from my brothers garage when my car was across the street with the hood closed.
Any ideas?

Check your oil level. Maybe your lifters are starved.
Also, can you provide more use/case examples?
Does it do it only when cold?
Does the sound accellerate with the RPM on the engine?
Does it go away if you tap the throttle?
Does it get louder when you're driving?
Is it coming from the engine or something surrounding it?
The RalliArt has solid lifters so oil pressure does not affect them.
Is the noise coming form the timing chain area? (passenger side) That can be serious if it is.
Otherwise a way to narrow down where a noise is coming from on a motor is to use a big long screwdriver. You put your ear to the handle, and touch the tip of the screwdriver to various parts of the motor. It works just like a doctor's stethoscope.

No, the noise is coming from the driver side. I did that exact thing and the sound is coming from the top right corner.

The car does it anytime the car idles and the sound disappears when I tap the throttle and anytime the clutch engages.
And its coming from the top right side of the engine.

I have a similar noise at Idle Only, but I cant hear it unless I'm in front of the car at a pretty close distance. I'll have to try the Screw Driver trick (hat tip, Mike) to pin point it to insure we get all the facts we can for this thread.

Yeah mine USED to sound like that. Now I can hear it over my exhaust inside the car at a stop light. It doesn't sound like a brand new car should. =/
