I was wondering if this noise can be identified separately from other noises under the hood?  Such as the high pressure fuel pump and with the hood closed and an engine cover on top also. The only unusual noise I hear once in a while is a metallic sound when starting, more like a noise that would come from starter engagement? Basically just wondering if this is something that would definitely be noticeable and if there's any other factors involved such as mileage and age of vehicle.

I have a 22 ST with the 2.7.  I don't necessarily hear this tapping or rattle noise on start up, but I do think that the engine is a bit noisy when you are outside the vehicle with it running and standing in front of it.  It does seem to make a constant fast clicking noise all the time on mine.  I attributed this to fuel injection or something else "normal" as it runs smoothly to me.  It doesn't make any different noise the first 5 seconds than it does all the time.  I also wonder what the problem is if it only does it, as reported, for 2 to 5 seconds after it starts, is there really a problem?  Is it harming the engine?
