When starting, the engine makes a noise until the pressure gets up to normal, just takes a few seconds.
When I removed the oil filter there seemed to be back pressure in the pipe above the filter. Oil came out of the pipe. The amount was about a quart or less. I have changed oil many times in my lifetime and this has never occurred before. Do you have any ideas why?

That oil draining not unusual at all. You may have low oil pressure but you would need to take a pressure reading to find out.
