Could you be more specific about the "unusual noises"? Are they rattly, squeaky, like something rubbing?

You may get a better/clearer response with a little more information on the noise itself.

Startup always happens easily and immediately. Then, if the noise occurs at all, it is after the engine has started to idle. I recall a rattling or scraping sound. Today the weather was cool and dry, and the idle was noise-free and smooth.
