Perfectly normal, only an issue if the noise persists.

It is normal especially if the car has been sitting for a long period. It takes some time for the oil to fully lubricate the heads on a cold start.

Mine does have the same thing and I thought it was the fuel pump building pressure

I've heard of this before in other vehicles, just haven't heard it in any of my vehicles for at least ten years
