2nd Gear Chatter

Sitting in the car waiting to pick my girlfriend up, I noticed my 2nd gear had some nasty chatter to it. I know some gear noise is normal at idle, but this was so pronounced that I thought it could have been a faint version of the infamous "marbles in a blender" before I figured out where it was coming from. None of the other gears have it so bad, and it's there whether I'm sitting still with the clutch to the floor or driving. Is it anything I should worry about?
