Honestly, to me it sounds like piston slap, but may not be. How many miles on your car?
If it is higher mileage, that would be my #1 guess. My truck does this quite a bit when cold, but once it is warm, then it mellows out, and the piston expands, and it goes away. If it is piston slap, do NOT put a load on your engine whil it is making this noise ( leave the car sit, and warm up).
LOL.
It was just the plastic cover, as I said above. I solved the problem by replacing the plastic cover... no piston slap here
By the way, the noise never went away just by letting the engine idle.
my car just reached 41,000 miles, but I noticed the problem from when I first bought it, around 31,000 miles
anyway, here is what I'm talking about... the left picture is of the whole piece, the picture on the right showing the wear mark, where all this noise was coming from
