LOL
I track mine, and it is [way too slowly for my liking] being turned into a SpecBoxster race car, so I picked "racy".

I do what I can to exercise the car each day, but traffic-choked commutes and increasing law enforcement presence has been putting a bit of a damper on things lately.
After as close a call as I've had in 10 years last week, combined with recent rain, I've been driving the more anonymous car in the fleet (dark gray GTI).

Sort of sound like an exhaust shield

I agree, it did sound like exhaust. My S has a rattle at startup that buggs the crap out of me...never hear it under acceleration.

I've located mine.
Have yet to fix it but located it.
It's a heat sheild on the pipping between the primary and secondary cat.
If you get under the car and beat on the exhaust lightly you can locate where the sound is coming from, with the car cool obviously, I reached under and twisted the heat sheild until it was seated "in place" then hit the exhaust again.
Now the rattle was silent.
That being said starting the car up brought the rattle back.
Hope you can locate yours.

Have you started it without the belt?
Water pump. Mine scraped on start up until the belt warmed up
Alternator. Mine made a chatter sound on start up
Pulley / tensioner pulley. Try a drop of oil on each bearing.
Or
Timing chain tensioner. They can be cleaned. Maybe under acceleration it pressurizes enough.
