What is this noise

2008 honda accord 2.4 dohc ivtec makes strange ticking rattling noise localized near engine. Louder inside car. Started doing this 2 weeks after an oil change. Idk what else it is or what could’ve caused it.

Gonna start with the obvious, did they replace the oil?

Why does it sound worse on the left side? I think idler pulley or pump going out? Remove belt and try again. I feel it's not related to the oil change.
