Has your max ever made this noise upon start up

Every morning I start my max, this sound occurs. When I hit the gas, the sound fades out then will come back in again. Once the car has warmed up, it goes away. I found a video of it on YouTube of someone having the same issue. Anybody have an idea of what it could be?

Sounds almost like its rattling the pipes under the car. Sounds awful. Something has to be vibrating.

I have that sound on really cold mornings when warming up the car. It's not as loud as it seems in the video. It happened on my old 4th gen too. Never thought anything of it honestly.

Open the hood and look/listen to locate and find the cause?
That doesn't sound good...
