Honda Civic Type R Ep3 Cold start rattling noise known as K20 Sneeze. The sound you and most k20 engined car owmers hear is the hydraulic tensioner adjusting itself for a second or two until the oil pressure builds back up. Its normal don't worry nothing is damaged. It only happens when the car sits overnight or for long periods of time.

Stop taking advice that your chain needs changing or tensioners, or vtc actuators it is not related to that fn2s do it too and even type s's. Some people have improved this by using different grades of oil depending on where you live and the type of use you get out of your k20 car.

I hope this helps you and puts your mind at ease. I drove my car for years like this and nothing was mechanically wrong.
