Toro 20055 noisy engine problem

A couple of weeks ago, all-of-a-sudden, my SR4 20055 started making a "rat-tat-tat" noise while running, similar to a 'noisy lifter' sound in a car, only much louder. It's more noticeable at a distance, or when the engine is shutting down. I took a look at everything I could think of, external to the engine anyhow. The blade's tight & balanced. There's plenty of oil. No obstructions in the housing or under the deck. If I remove the plug and try to turn it over I do not hear the noise, so it appears to only happen at full-speed. It sounds pretty bad (and expensive to fix :-) It may still be under warranty, I have to check. Any ideas or suggestions as to what may be wrong? Bearing problem perhaps? I'm hoping it can at least hold on for the rest of the mowing season anyhow. Thank you in advance for any info!
