Well, the chain rubs along the pads with different pressure since when the variocam actuates the pressure on one side of the pad increases while on the other side decreases, in other words one side of the chain loosens while the other becomes more stretched, which would explain while the rattle happens to occur right when it actually changes. But in mine it didn`t make a big difference in terms of noise, just the performance dropped.
