My car makes exactly the same noise. When the ignition barrel went funny, causing the starter motor to stay engaged until you twisted the barrel back a bit, the noise carried on much longer - basically until you twisted the barrel back to disengage the starter.

I made a recording of it before I had worked out what was going on:

pothole might have something there.
your cam deviation values are better then mine, and i don't have a rattle at all
