strange grinding noise

wifes 1.4 is making a strange noise when it hits 2750 revs.it does it when accelerating and decelerating also makes a racket when starting up too.any ideas?

all sorted,was tensioners on the cam belt.
we only bought the car because it had full service history and the belt "had just been changed"
seems really odd but it really seems to have more power and sounds superb now too.
