Cam chains don't really make loud metallic noises they make more of a rapid ticktick noise that rises and falls with the rpm of the engine, carrying a pillion or going up a hill wouldn't have any effect on a cam chain noise. To me it seems more like a drive chain noise that you're describing. Hopefully simonm doesn't mind posting his link but here's a cam chain noise
Cheers for that his dudeness, his rattle is quite loud there when he's right next the engine. From memory I dont think mine is as loud as that. It does sound similar though just a lot quieter and its literally with my head right next to the cylinder. The drive chain is new and correctly adjusted so unless its some strange lash with the weight of the pillion on the back I am not sure if it would be that. I could try and upload a video but I'm rubbish with technology and don't have a youtube account.
