Engine rattling in 01 SE

I searched for this problem but could not find something exactly the same.

I was driving out of a parking lot when i stepped on the gas I heard this huge rattle in my engine and the car started to sound like a tractor. This happened in 10 seconds or so. I parked and popped the hood, I can hear clearly something metal (came loose, broke) rattling somewhere in the engine or below it.

When I pres the gas pedal while going from a stop or a slow speed the engine sounds like an loud old tractor, when I get to speed and add a bit more gas the noise is not as noticeable. No loss of power noticed.

01SE 1.6L
74k khm

Thanx for any help.

Does it do that when cold and not when warm?
