Engine(?) clacking noise

1. I took my car in today for the recall, and she's fine (phew!) =)

2. I'm hearing the high-pitch whistling noise, which I assumed is just a normal rotary whistle. It's very, very quiet. I searched the forum and from the threads I read, it's okay. I'll assume that this is normal unless someone else wants to correct me.

3. From all the searching for the whistling noise, my internet/computer/this website is crapping out and won't let me search anymore... it keeps freezing. So, I might be repeating a question and I'm sorry. Anyway, my question is, when I turn the car into the ON position (without starting it), this weird almost clacking noise comes from what I think is the engine. I really don't know what it is, and it's LOUD. Any ideas? Again, sorry if this is a major repeat but I'm unable to search and I have to leave for work. Thanks!
