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

don't mind at all
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
