Default noise at first start!

So in the morning every morning I hear a very slight knock from the motor. If you just sit there it will go and come back about 3 times only lasting a very short time when it is doing it. It is very light(like a lifter or something) When you step on the gas it will go away. By the time its warm and you start to drive its gone? I hear we have soild lifters? true? would that be what I hear? Any ideas?

that would make sense, it was right after the pipes where put on. But where is it only when cold? Cause the pipes are expanding after warm up?
