Default What noise?

When i start the car in the morning, i can hear a click sound from the engine. sounds like some thing lose and clicking the metal. but, when the car warms up, that click sound will go a way? is this normal? anyone else have this problem?

btw, my car is 7 months old with 6500 kms. Thanks.

the timing belt and tensioner make some noise during initial startup, but settles down as the rpm slowly drops. i work at a honda dealership and have dealed with new and used s2000's, they all sound like this. without hearing the noise in person, im not 100% sure what noise you're talking about but the clicking noise i hear is normal.

Does this clicking happen only while the engine is in its cold high idle? And then goes away when the idle settles down after the initial warm-up? If so, it could be the Idle Air Control valve/solenoid just being a bit noisy.
