How long did the noise last? One or two seconds at startup can be considered normal.
The early 5 chain cars can be noisier, though it’s typically chain tensioners that are the source of the noise rather than lifters.
Not saying that lifters can’t be noisy; they can bind and make racket too.
My car does the startup rattle if it sits for more than a day. It sounds bad but apparently is normal for the car.
