Scary noise on cold start

Hello,

I’m slightly worried, as I just got a very strange noise.

I started my 86 (1 week since last use) inside my garage (temperatures are pretty high for winter, 15°C/59°F).

Motor revs to 1500, as usual, then I get a loud sound « ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta ». Kind of like firecrackers, or when your exhaust has holes, but I’d say higher pitched. A bit metallic, but maybe that’s my mind. And definitely loud enough to be heard over the motor, with doors and windows closed.

Anyway, it lasted maybe a 5 seconds, while I was WTF-ing, then it disappeared, RPM revved down to 1000, and I did not hear it anymore as I went shopping.

How worried should I be?

Edit: car is 2012, stock, and I pressed the clutch pedal during the sound and it did not seem to affect it.
