Checkout You Tube, but a tensioner rattle is just that, and not much of a tick.

I got more replies/helps when showing sound with a video clip or sound clip. I don't know how to describe or imagine it with words. GL

I guess tmv's point was to upload a video/sound clip if you want a better opinion.
