By all means take it out and check it. It will do no harm. You might need a new gasket when you put it back on though. Depending on the design.
If you have a rattley motor which sounds like cam chain rattle then you will be better off changing the cam chain and tensioner spring.
However, there are a thousand reasons why your engine is noisy.
Why not take a video of the noise and post it up.
XT's generally are a noisy motor though.
