Just a guess - many engines have a clutch operated cooling fan. If so, it wouldn't likely be engaged (in other words the fan would be free-wheeling) until the engine warms up. So maybe the fan is making the noise when the fan clutch is engaged? Perhaps the shroud is too close or loose and the spinning fan is slightly contacting it?
