Could this be the chain?

Toyota Avensis D4D 2.0 93KW. noticed this noise as revs drop (listen as acceleration drops). Could this be the timing chain?

I noticed no other symptoms, such as clatter on cold start etc.

Strange moment though: i stopped the car. Started it again after 2 mins and the noise was gone.
