    Does it only happen when you are using the starter to turn the motor over?

    Or does it happen real quick after the motor starts is goes away?

    it might be your AC compressor if its the noise im thinking of. mine does it sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. when it makes the noise i turn on the AC and it goes away. if you take the belt of try and spin each pulley and check them you might find the problem that's why i did. then i sprayed lubricant on the AC compressor pulley.
