Weird Clacking Sound

Hey all. I've got a weird clack from the engine compartment. It is focused on the passenger side. It sounds like valves tapping. The weird part is that it is only audible from about 2800-4000RPMs and only under load/acceleration.
If I just rev the engine in neutral, there is no noise. It is strictly while under load conditions.
Any ideas?

This is on an MCS, right? It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Just kidding. Replacing the harmonic balancer on mine greatly diminished the ticking..
