You dont say what engine . If it's a 1.3 L CDTI Diesel it has a timing chain which can rattle when worn .

It could be a tappet noise but other possible causes as the engine gets older , but hard to say without checking . Sometimes changing the engine oil and filter , using correct , good parts helps as oil can circulate better and quicker . You can also get noise from injectors but from your description , doubt it's that , It wouldn't go wrong to go into any decent local garage and let them hear the noise and give you advice before getting in to deep with possible repairs and costs .
