I thought it was a chain (or chain/belt hybrid), at least thats what I got from reading about the EX.
It hasn't made the noise since, and the car has been on and off several times since then (to/from work, school, food, etc). It doesn't make a lot of sense, as it never did it before.
Next time it does it, I will look into it more, as I didn't even check if it did it in neutral. I kinda freaked out and went back to park, as my fear is the car falling apart while I'm driving (alright, so that won't happen - but with all the noises it makes, it might as well).
Only things I haven't done are change ATF (52k almost now) - planning to do that when I do my next oil change (due in the next 1-2 weeks), and I need a new battery (failed the battery test). That's got to wait though, as I've got a sick chameleon that needs to go to the vet.. and that runs around $150-$200, if not more..
