Are you noticing this noise shortly after startup? If so, you might be pushing too hard before the oil is warm enough. Engine too cold, oil not viscous enough, and the Pistons start to complain.

Yes, shortly after startup! That would explain i thank you because I tried to reproduce it again after the car was warmer and couldn't.
