Hi:
Yes the noise could be coming from the chain. You will basically need to remove everything from the front of the engine to get to the chain. For me to attempt to explain if via the Internet allows too much room for error. Therefore, I recommend purchasing a good repair manual that provides step by step instructions and pictures to identify parts. Chances are it is a tensioner problem if the chain isn't broken, but the only way to be sure is to take it apart.
