Default Rattle noise at Engine Startup

I know yall probably have all mentioned this issue before but i was wondering if anybody was experiencing this during normal temperature startup? Mine does not make the rattle noise during cold startup. It does it during the day, everytime. Also, does anybody know what the repair cost is? My car is past the warranty. I am planning on taking it in to get checked on monday.

Would like to know what happened.

When I start my car I get a rattle sometimes. Its only happens as I start the car but. I think its the muffler vibrating and touching one of the crossmembers.

i remember from past if that happens it is because ur exhaust and muffler expands due to heat. Check your vehicle from under and give little more clearance and should fix the problem...
this could be the problem but i'm not pro tech.
