lol long night of partying and i do the same thing!!! LOL sorry man no clue but if you can get a sound clip it would help HAHAHA!!!!

if youve ever tried to start your car when ur bat was dead and it makes a clicking sound it almost sounds like that but does it faster and more times but the car still starts right up and the prob with doin a sound clip is that it only does it once in a while

ok what kinda oil do you have and how cold was it....maybe the oil is thicked up and your getting a "dry start"

ive never changed my own oil (Lincoln does it for me) on this car but im guessing its a synthetic blend not sure on thickness but it was prolly about 50 degrees outside

A similar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, where my car would make a strange humming noise. It just happened when it started to get cold out at night, so I assumed it was due to the temperature drop. I took it to the dealership for an oil change last week, and it turned out the noise was from a power steering leak. I'd get it checked out if it sounds like a humming noise or a loud fan or something like that.
