Weird 'rattle' noise?

I've been getting a strange 'rattling' noise for about 2 seconds when I first start the car from cold. It only does this when the engine is cold and for the first 1-2 seconds. Any ideas?

Where's the noise coming from? Engine bay, underneath the car, in the dash?More details, mang!

Sounds like your belt tensioner is starting to go.

Under the hood. It doesnt do it all the time, though and when it does, it's under the above circumstances. Maybe the belt tensioner? I'll check that. Thanks.
