It's normal for a car to make some noise when starting up, but if it's something out of the ordinary, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. I recommend taking it to a mechanic for further investigation.

Make sure to check your engine oil level regularly and to get it changed according to your vehicle's recommended schedule. Low or dirty oil can cause strange noises in the engine.

One thing to consider is the type of fuel you're using. If you're using regular gas instead of premium, it could be causing knocking or pinging noises in the engine. Switching to a higher octane fuel may help.
