Default Rattle at warm start?

I searched and found people getting the noise on cold start. Im only get the noise when the cars warm and it only last a few seconds. Any ideas?

Timing chain tensioner.

IIRC, oil pressure is a little higher on a cold start so the tensioner has a little more 'support'.

simply order the part (runs about $170usd) and install it yourself. Its VERY simple.

I have the exact same noise occasionally on warm start on my '05 with less than 12k miles. I can't believe the timing tensioner is going bad?
