Rattle on 1st start

Hi Experts,
I am recently facing a rattling issue when Its a cold start.
car non drive over night and in the morning when I start the car , I hear a rattle noise only for 5 seconds then it goes away.
if I start the car again when its warm, I don't hear the rattle.
this rattle comes from engine.
experts pls guide me.
thanks

Yep, timing chain. Get that issue fixed quickly or a new engine will be the consequences.

It could simply be the lifters you are hearing until the oil pressure builds up. If so, this is completley normal.
