You know the one that seems to change tone with RPM rising? Lot's of old cars have it, and it goes away after about 2 minutes of driving.
No, I did not ran over any cats on my way home, so may be its thouse birds that are nesting inside my engine compartement

Belts?
Often a belt is loose and slids on a pulley instead of turning with it. This makes a horrible sound. Tighten the belt if it's loose. Sometimes it is tight. In this case holding a soapstone against the belt when it's turning can help. This is a Vermont back-woods mechanic trick. Be careful not to lose any fingers.
