Right side as in passenger side? Pop the hood while it's making the noise and see if you can get a better idea of where it is.

It's common for the heat shield on the exhaust manifold to get a little loose. That's the most likely culprit.

I assume the engine is running fine through all this?

I doubt it would be the timing chain

It's the heat shield, I'm 80% sure as this happened to me too.
