You sure it is the cam chain and not just the drive chain?

Mine gets noisy when loose...

I even have it a little tight just to stop the noise.
Nope! It's definitely the cam chain as the noise is coming from the cam chain! Large screwdriver behind the ear and the end on the block is a good enough makeshift stethoscope! I have had bikes with rattley cam chains before. I'd expect a bit of noise, but this seemed excessive.

It has actually got better since I reset the tensioner, but I'm keeping an eye on it and will probably swap it out for a manual one when I get hold of one.
