hello there need a little more info to help you with this one ie is the car running when you hear the noise or is it when the car is in motion or is it more noticeable when you go over bumps

ive looked at the previous message you put the problem you have is the hydraulic lifters are rattling on start up there is one way that will help this and that is give the car an oil and filter change and add some hydraulic lifter treatment and this will help you with the rattling that you are getting 100%
