SOURCE: Engine ticking noise on cold starts
Sounds like a stuck valve lifter. I'd use some oil additive for unsticking lifters.
SOURCE: rattle noise from engine at start up for a few
The oil pump is not getting oil into the top of the engine quick enough on start up
I have a similar problem with a Mazda
Got over it by adding a can of STP Oil treatment to the engine
That coats the surfaces better than the standard oils and cuts down on the noise and the wear factor

change the oil and filter and add some lucos oil treatment you may have a lifter sticking
SOURCE: ticking noise
you need to give us more info about your car, based on your info i would say one of your valve lifters is bleeding off pressure when the engine is off, you can try putting 1/2 qt. of automatic transmission fluid in your engine oil, atf is a good cleaning agent and may clean your lifters up. i have done it many times
SOURCE: Ticking/Tapping when car starts but goes away???
I had what sounds like the exact same problem. It was an exhaust leak from the left (driver's) side exhaust manifold. This engine has a history of the manifold bolts breaking and causing the exhaust leak. The engine is also used on some Dodge vehicles. It sounds like a tick and I almost mistook it for a bad lifter. I took it to the local Jeep dealer who confirmed the exhaust leak. I replaced the left manifold completely and replaced bolts/gaskets on both sides (left/right) and it fixed the problem. Be careful, as the dealer tried to gouge me on the price. You are looking in the ball park of $600 parts/labor. I got parts for $120 and it took the better part of a work day to do the job.
