2017 Hyundai Elantra — metallic rattle for a few seconds after cold start

There is a short metallic rattle after the first cold start of the day, then it disappears once the engine settles. Warm restarts are quiet. Where would you start narrowing this down? I am in Orlando.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2017 Hyundai Elantra is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
