+1 chain tensioner and no big deal. My car does it at cold start for a moment and then quiets down almost immediately. You can live with it or have the chain tensioner, chain, etc replaced. At 90K miles, I live with it. BTW, I use Mobil 1 10-40 and still rattles on startup.

If the noise doesn't go away in a moment or two on startup, then worry.
