oil filters/startup sounds

97se, timing chain or belt sound at cold start. is this no oil up in the chain and is there an alternate smaller filter that will stop the sound?

is it a knocking/ticking sound right after start up? if so, go buy a nissan oil filter. they have a well designed anti-drainback valve... which i guess on the FRAM filters doesn't work as well. as soon as i started using OEM filters, the noise went away.
