Question Tempra sounded like it was running on nails...

My battery has been going flat alot recently, so I bought a new one. It didn't want to start even with the new battery, so I bump started it and everything is fine now.
I started it last night, it had only been stood a minute since the last run and it sounded like someone had poured gravel into the engine. Bit worrying I thought, as I had just had my cam belt done, so I left it overnight. And now it's fine again?! Does anyone know what might be going on?

Sounded like a belt cover was touching a belt!
