nackered pulleys?
cambelt a bit slack?
dont think it will be hydraulic lifter springs as the usually get quieter as the engine warms up

my lifters was like that. it may also be the ball bearing in the dynamo. if it is get it checked at once. if that bearing breaks the dynamo stops and so does the belt. and that can get really expensive. the opel dealership refused me to leave when they found out. so they gave me a signum to use while they fixed it.
