Default timing chain noise but everything looks fine

so i replaced my timing set about 10 000 miles ago and this past week the car has started the rattling sound again that it did when the chain guides failed. anything over 3 grand sounds horrible but after pulling the valve cover the guides look perfect and chain is nice and tight still. at a loss what this issue is since everything seems fine just havent pulled the lower cover yet

Make sure the lubricator for the chain is working properly.
