170,000 miles
I have over 170,000 miles on my 2010 HHR and this morning on my drive I noticed the engine almost sounded like a four cylinder diesel, i did not notice this before.
Oil level is good, I checked after it cooled down and oil settled in pan.
Any ideas what caused this?

If it is the timing set, it will become serious if you just wait and hope. It's a relatively simple matter to pull the valve cover and see if the timing chain is loose.
If there is some other cause, I'm sure someone else will say so, but with 170,000 miles, timing is very likely the issue.

Would it act intermittently? I mean the engine was at operating temperature when I got to work and then when it cooled down it sounded better. Not trying to be contentious, just thinking out loud.
