Default rattle when starting the RS.

hi guys,
wen i start my RS with my extremely cool green button i got a knocking/fattle from around the gearbox area. it only seems to happen when i start the car up thou. cant really hear anything too obvious when normal drviing. had it up on my mates ramps the other day and i personally couldnt see anything obviously loose or jumpig around. im worrying it may be an engine mount. any body experienced anything similar>?
cheers

By the sound of the green button - it'll be a Focus RS.

I'm sure i've read something about FRS noises when cold starting - i'll see if i can dig it out
