Default Loud rattle/chatter on deceleration

Hey guys
My car has been parked for a few weeks, after picking it up today and going for a drive it seems to have developed a loud noise under deceleration, mostly at higher rpm's.

I was able to record it: https://youtu.be/fSOpZJNPehU

Any ideas what it could be

Loose heat shield somewhere?

I've had this noise before and I always thought it was just extreme clutch buzz. It happens rarely to me. What is your clutch setup and what year is your car?

I dont know that the clutch buzz just develops out of nowhere, especially with a 2002, I would have expected Honda to have resolved the issue by then. Does it go away as soon as you press the gas?

I recently started experiencing the similar (as it seems from your youtube video) kind of extreme rattle when lifting off from higher revs too. I do have the "regular" clutch buzz when decelerating from 4,000rpm, this is difference, it happens at higher revs and much much louder and shaky. Could it be Timing Chain Tensioner?
