I'm sure you will find they
I'm sure you will find they are not adjustable. They are tensioned by a hydraulic tensioner which fills with oil when the engine is running. There are also guides (usually plastic) which the chain runs against. Is it definitely the chain and not a noisy drive belt tensioner that's making the noise? If it is loose I think a replacement chain is in order. How many miles has it done?
I had a nissan sunny with a rattly chain, which was worse on full throttle. There was an access cover on the engine and I could get a screwdriver in there to press in the tensioner a few times and then it was right for a few weeks or so. I put it down to insufficient oil changes causing the tensioner to fill up with gunk.
