For a 1998 camry 2.2 automatic

When accelerating from a stop the car makes what sounds like a short metal on metal noise. Its not real loud but can be heard. Sometimes this noise is even faint. It only lasts maybe a second or 2 and goes away. It only will make the noise from a start and it seems more pronounced when the engine is cold. When the engine is hot its harder to get it to make the noise. It does not make this noise at any other speeds.

Does anybody have any idea what this might be?

Thanks

I have a sort of buzzing noise of my 93 camry, people have told me it has to do with acceleration

I have that noise too, I believe its the heating shield.. My friend has a 94 XLE and I hear the same thing with his car. It mainly occurs around a certain rpm when starting from a stand still..
