ok my wife has an 06 ford Expedition it was making a loud growling noise on cold start-up only (first thing in the morning) every day.... couldnt really pin-point it, i decided to take a video of the noise and post it over on the ford forums to see if anybody had a similar problem and the noise had changed to a loud, quick, aggressive rattle... here's the links to the vids

normal start-up, this video was actually taken after the second video

now here's the noisy one, once i open the hood there is a lot of wind noise but you can hear the engine fowards the end when i block the mic from the wind

Sounds like your strater is dragging since it doesn't do each time. Maybe the fan clutch going bad, HAd one go bad on my 1985 Nissan Truck and it sound close and only did it at start up.
