I had terrible start up noise. Turned out to be: 1) grooves in cam pulley had mostly filled with rubber. Made squishy sound or squawk sound 2) alternator bearing bad and made crunchy / rattle sound 3) water pump vanes rubbing on block opening until car warmed up. All startup noises, but alternator got worse.
Made a symphony of noises it turned out, but the work truck is a Ford so I was used to that. When those three things were fixed it was silent.
