When I start mine, people nearby covers their face with both arms just in case... I've understood this is to prevent nuts & bolts from my car rear-end flying towards them

Sounds like it anyway.... poor things

Congrats on your acquisition!

I personally don't hear it often. I turn the volume of my old but new AM/FM radio before turning the key to start, wait 1~2secs and drop the volume back to normal.

I'm dead serious mate, can't stand that rattling noise for even half-sec.

+1 on Start up "What the hell is wrong with my engine" noise

It has gotten worse the less I use the car. When I daily drove it, noise wasn't there.
Now that it basically sits, driving once or twice a week, it's more pronounced.
I have tried cranking, shutting off just before turn over, then restart to get the oil around a bit. That helps but then I notice the secondary Air pump does not come on, on the restart
