Car only makes the sound on cold start.Its almost like a clunking or grinding sound.It only does it immediatly after start up then no more noise.It also doesn't make the noise if the engine is already warm, The car needed to be shut off for quiet a few hours before it will make the sound again.
Probably just the upper parts of the engine running without oil for a few seconds until the oil starts to move around again. This is pretty much normal.
