Many people, including myself, get a very brief rattle on start up, but if you are getting it once the car is warmed up, I would rule out something more serious. I would at least take out the oil filter to check for metal. If you have any significant amount, then I would pull the sump plate and see whats in there. Also, check the cam deviation with the Durametric for early signs of IMSB failure.
I wouldn't drive it until I checked it out.
