I have a concern on a real weird/loud growling engine noise when the car is started after an over night rest OR hour(?) Rest during the day. It lasts for under 5 seconds but is VERY noticeable. Car runs great and has no other noise from engine or anywhere after initial start. Would appreciate any advice. I'm assuming I should bring it to dealership for this one? Still under the basic Hyundai warranty for a second owner till 2011. Thank you so much.

Hi there, this may be a starter motor/ring gear issue, or a more serious problem, I would get it to the dealer for an inspection if it is still under a warranty, get it looked at ASAP.
