Does it usually happen when the engine is cold?

i mean i heard it when the car was warned up on my way to work its not like a loose heat shield I've dealt with alot of those in my past cars I've heard a similar noise in my friends mustang and in a few of my old cars when I get on it there's a rattle in the higher end of the gear
