for the past 15k miles or so my car makes a rattling noise when started... not really knocking.. just rattling.

it doesn't seem to be getting much worse.. but it seems like I can 'hear' the rattling a little bit when the car is idling or if the rpms are going down (like if I rev to 5k, then let it fall, I can hear it a little bit) kind of hard to explain.

I was thinking timing chain...
