KIA Ceed 1.0 T-GDI 2020 - Engine/exhaust rattle during startup?

As the title says, my 2020 Kia makes this strange rattle for a few seconds after a cold startup, or after being parked for 30-40min. It has done it even right after I bought it a few years back, but somehow I feel its worse during the summer. I asked the dealer to check the rattle last time it was in service, but they said its normal and nothing to worry about.

Im not sure whether this sounds like a timing chain/valve issue, or more like a metallic cover rattling against something. Its difficult to locate it even from inside the engine room during a startup.

Any ideas or suggestions? Or does this fall into the "3-cyl engines rattle and its normal"-category?

Musei Vaticani trip on July

First time in Rome and Vatican. The Vatican Museums rank highest of all the museums I've ever been in. I don't think I have ever been in a place where everything you see is a piece of art from some era. It really made a difference.

Regardless of quite toasty weather and peak season crowds, it was surprisingly cool and calm inside. We booked an afternoon ticket from 16:30-->, and by the time the exhibition was over, it was a perfect temperature to relax in the inner park.

Of all the locations so far on this trip, this was the jewel to me.
