Default Funny noise

I changed my oil yesterday, and I'm really not convinced that has anything to do with this but it did start after changing the oil. When I first start the car while it is warming up I hear a very funny like shuffling or clicking sound. You almost can't hear it at all with the hood open but with the hood closed from the outside of the car it is very noticeable. I believe it may just be the idler pulley / tensioner since the idler pulley was squeaking anyway before. Any ideas what this could be ? Does it sound serious ? I havent noticed any changes in the way it drives

Fwiw, that'd probably be my first guess Its spring getting messed up or something.
