Default loud engine noise..please help!!!

so i have a 2001 gt, and there is a loud clicking sound coming from it seems behind the timing cover, and it gets faster as you rev the engine..... also it quits between like 2100 and 2600 rpms.....at first i thought it was a lifter knocking but it seems way to loud to be that... ever heard of this happening?? and how can i fix this??
