Default need help identifying a noise

98 D2 with 90k. When I bought the car the guy said he had done the TB at 65k.

clicking/clattering that varies with rpms.

Idle is good and no loss of power. Any ideas and can I still drive it? I didn't have time (I am in a continuing ed class as I "speak") to see if it was coming from front or back of motor but I think it was the back. It didn't come on gradually (I don't think) it just seemed appeared today.

Tough to diagnose a sound we can't hear.
