clicking sound at 1000 RPM

My engine developed a clicking sound this winter.
It's especially bad on cold, wet days.
I mentioned it to the dealer during regular maintenance checkup, he said it was nothing, just the small engines get louder as they loosen out. to me, it definitely sounds like something is loose, also, the engine vibrates a little more at idle than it used to.
It doesn't affect the performance of the car as far as I can tell. and you cant hear it over the sound of the engine when driving. But when idling IT'S REALLY ANNOYING.

Does anyone know what it might be, so I can get them to fix it while my car is still under its full warrantee.

Thanks

at that mileage (HB1320) I think your valves need to be adjusted, I adjusted mine at 30k it sounded like someone was tapping the engine with a wrench,and it all went away!
