Right off the bat, I am assumming that when you rev the motor up, the noise speeds up, as well. This would eliminate a rod knocking. I also would advise you to check the oil. The valves are the last to get oil, and if you are low, they will suffer. Next, smell the oil, on the dipstick. If you smell a lot of gas, then it might be time to change it. When you take shoft trips in your car, the motor does not fully warm up. So, it run rich on fuel, and more leaks by the rings, and into the oil, thus breaking it down, and hampering it's lubricating abilities. If it persists, after the oil change, then it is either an exhaust leak, or, a loose rocker arm. I would adjust the valves next, which is a good place to turn this job over to an expert. It get technicle from here on.
