Next time you start it and it happenes, touch the "plastic" timing belt cover and see if you feel anything.
My dad has a '96 camry I4 (Same engine). Around 58k miles, upon only cold startups, there was a slapping noise which took me a while to figure out. Turns out it was either the timing belt tensioner, or the timing belt stretching, and "slapping" the plastic cover (Hence the fan hitting the shroud sound).
Thats the only thing I can think of that it would be from the Passenger side and intermitten.
